FAQs
Is the Nike Air Skylon 2 good for running?
While it was originally designed as a performance shoe in the 90s, modern materials make it better suited for casual lifestyle use rather than long-distance running.
Does the shoe fit true to size?
Yes, the Air Skylon 2 generally fits true to standard Nike sizing; however, those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
How do I remove stains from the upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush and a sneaker-specific cleaning solution to gently work out dirt without damaging the fabric.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive used in the midsole. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The materials are not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the appearance and longevity of the upper.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the upper retain its structure and minimize deep creasing.
Midsole foam showing signs of compression
Rotate your footwear to allow the foam cells to decompress between wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Skylon 2 shoes remain in top condition, proper maintenance is essential.
- Sizing: Ensure you check your specific UK size, as the Skylon 2 fits true to standard Nike sizing expectations.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the midsole foam to warp or the upper materials to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the materials.
