FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Nike Tennis Classic is designed primarily as a lifestyle and fashion shoe. While they offer comfortable grip for casual walking, they are not recommended for intense athletic performance or sports.
How do I clean the textured areas of the leather?
For the embossed textures, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh scrubbing. A specialized leather cleaner for textured surfaces may also be used cautiously.
What does 'MPN' stand for?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. In this case, IQ5786-001 is the specific identifier for this particular Nike Tennis Classic model.
How does the sizing run for these shoes?
Nike Tennis Classics generally run true to size. However, it's always recommended to consult Nike's official size guide or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather is treated, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and ensure longevity.
What is the difference between Tennis Classic and Tennis Classic CS PRM?
The 'CS PRM' often denotes 'Classic Premium' or 'Comfort Supreme Premium,' indicating variations in materials, construction, or specific design elements compared to the standard Tennis Classic model.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in a dust bag or their original box is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration as the leather softens and molds to your feet.
Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather.
For light scuffs, a leather conditioner or a matching color shoe polish can help mask them. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try adding a small amount of powder (like talcum powder) under the insole or ensure the insole is properly seated.
Gold accents losing their shine.
Gently polish the gold accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes that could damage the finish.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to help guard against water and stains, especially for the textured areas.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
