Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air Barrage Mid trainers are designed for adult men who appreciate a blend of heritage basketball aesthetics and durable daily wear. These trainers provide excellent foot support thanks to their premium leather construction and robust build, making them ideal for casual walking and streetwear enthusiasts. A primary caveat to keep in mind is that as a mid-top leather trainer, they provide a structured fit that may feel more rigid than modern mesh-based running shoes, so precise sizing is essential for long-term comfort.

FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. However, because they are leather, it is highly recommended to measure your foot from heel to toe to ensure you select the correct UK size.
Can I wear these for running?
These are lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear and walking. They are not designed for long-distance running or high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I clean the white midsole?
You can clean the white rubber sections using a soft brush or a melamine foam sponge with a little bit of mild soap and water.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The structure is relatively standard. The lacing system allows for some width adjustment, but individuals with very wide feet may find the leather upper slightly snug at first.
Is the leather genuine?
The Nike Air Barrage Mid utilizes high-quality leather for its upper, providing the durability and aesthetic typical of the series.
Do I need to spray these with a protector?
While not strictly necessary, using a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray can help protect the finish from light moisture and dirt.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially
Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally mold and soften to your foot shape.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep-set wrinkles.
Surface scuffs on the black leather
Use a black shoe cream or leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to touch up scuffs and hydrate the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Barrage Mid trainers last, measure your foot length from heel to toe before ordering to confirm your UK size is correct. For care, keep the leather clean by wiping away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or machine washing, as these can damage the integrity of the leather. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking or warping. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape.
