FAQs
What is the primary intended use for these trainers?
These trainers are primarily designed for skateboarding, offering the durability, grip, and cushioning required for the sport.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to consult the Nike sizing chart and measure your foot. Given they are trainers, a snug fit is often preferred for performance, but ensure there is adequate room in the toe box.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are made with materials that offer breathability and flexibility, but they will absorb water if exposed to significant moisture.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the cushioning technology used?
The trainers feature a Zoom Air unit in the heel, providing responsive cushioning for impact absorption.
What does 'Bred' typically refer to in Nike colorways?
'Bred' is a common Nike colorway designation that combines Black and Red.
Are these suitable for running?
While they offer cushioning, these trainers are optimized for skateboarding. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly, or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable.
Reduced grip over time
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and a mild soap to remove accumulated dirt and restore traction.
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a comfortable, secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box, requiring no specific setup. They are compatible with standard skateboarding practices and general athletic activities. To care for your Nike P-Rod 1 Trainers, it is recommended to:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
- Laces: Keep laces clean and replace them if they become frayed.
