FAQs
What makes the Nike Space Hippie 01 sustainable?
The shoe is constructed using recycled materials, including 'Space Waste Yarn' made from recycled plastic bottles and fabric scraps, and insoles made from Zoom X foam waste. The Crater Foam midsole also incorporates recycled content.
How should I clean my Space Hippie 01 shoes?
Clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat sources.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Nike Space Hippie 01 is designed primarily for casual wear and light athletic activities. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support required for intense or long-distance running.
What is the fit like?
The shoes feature a sock-type collar and a Flyknit upper, which offers an adaptive and snug fit. Some users may find they fit slightly different than traditional shoes; trying them on is recommended if possible.
What does 'Space Waste Yarn' mean?
'Space Waste Yarn' is Nike's term for yarn made from recycled materials, primarily post-consumer plastic bottles and manufacturing scrap, used in the shoe's upper construction.
What is Crater Foam?
Crater Foam is a proprietary Nike cushioning material made with a percentage of recycled content, offering a lightweight and responsive feel with a distinctive speckled appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the tonal round laces for a more secure or relaxed fit. The Flyknit upper may offer some stretch over time. If the fit remains problematic, consider trying a different size.
Creasing on the midsole.
Minor creasing on the Crater Foam midsole is a natural characteristic of the material and does not typically affect performance. Avoid applying excessive pressure.
Discoloration on the upper or midsole.
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid bleach or strong cleaning agents. Ensure proper drying to prevent water stains.
Traction feels reduced.
Clean the grip rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing its effectiveness.

Care Instructions
To maintain the condition and longevity of your Nike Space Hippie 01:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the 'Space Waste Yarn' upper with a soft brush or cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap diluted in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the recycled fibers.
- Cleaning the Midsole: Wipe the Crater Foam midsole with a damp cloth. The multicolored flecks may require careful cleaning to preserve their appearance.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole. A damp cloth can be used for further cleaning if needed.
