FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
While inspired by classic running shoes and featuring an Air Max unit for comfort, the Nike Air Max Waffle SP 2 is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. For performance running or sports, we recommend dedicated athletic footwear.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Nike Air Max Waffle SP 2 generally fits true to size. We recommend trying them on if possible. If you are between sizes, consider your usual preference for Nike footwear. This specific model is UK 10.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a blend of mesh, shiny textile, and suede overlays, offering both breathability and durable support.
Can I put these sneakers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and the Air Max unit. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.
What does the 'Gum Outsole' mean?
The 'Gum Outsole' refers to the sole's material and color. It's typically a natural rubber compound that offers excellent grip and has a distinctive brownish-yellow, translucent appearance, adding to the sneaker's vintage appeal.
Do these sneakers offer good arch support?
The Nike Air Max Waffle SP 2 features the Air Max unit for cushioning and comfort, which contributes to overall foot support. For specific arch support needs, individual preferences vary, and custom insoles can always be used.
Is the 'floating heel tab' just for aesthetics?
The floating heel tab is primarily an aesthetic feature that references vintage Nike running shoes like the Waffle Racer, contributing to the sneaker's heritage appeal. It doesn't have a specific functional purpose beyond its design contribution.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers feel stiff initially.
New sneakers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.
The white mesh/suede is getting dirty quickly.
Regularly brush off dirt and apply a protective spray designed for mesh and suede before wearing. For existing dirt, follow the care instructions for spot cleaning and gentle brushing.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting. A sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.

Care
- Regular Cleaning: To maintain the appearance of the mesh and suede, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like a suede brush) after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently dab the stained area; avoid scrubbing vigorously, especially on suede, as this can damage the material.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede cleaner and protector. Avoid excessive moisture, as suede can be sensitive to water.
- Mesh Cleaning: For mesh areas, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent is usually sufficient.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or discoloration. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
