FAQs
Are Nike ACG Izy sneakers waterproof?
No, the suede material of these sneakers is not naturally waterproof. While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material and avoid water damage.
How often should I clean my suede sneakers?
It's recommended to lightly brush your suede sneakers after each wear to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning or stain removal, address them as soon as they appear to prevent them from setting in.
What does 'ACG' mean in Nike ACG Izy?
ACG stands for 'All Conditions Gear'. It's a Nike sub-brand focused on creating durable and versatile products suitable for various outdoor and urban environments, blending functionality with distinct style.
Can I put my suede sneakers in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can severely damage suede, causing it to shrink, stiffen, and lose its texture and color. Always follow specific suede cleaning methods outlined in the care instructions.
Are these shoes true to size?
Nike ACG Izy sneakers generally fit true to size. For the best fit, it's often recommended to refer to Nike's official sizing chart or try them on if possible.
Can these be worn for hiking or intense outdoor activities?
While part of the ACG line, these sneakers are designed more for urban versatility and light outdoor use rather than rigorous hiking or extreme conditions, primarily due to the suede material's limitations.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dull
Gently brush the affected area with a specialized suede brush. Brush in one direction, then against the nap, to lift and restore the texture.
Water spots or light stains on suede
Allow the area to dry completely. Use a suede eraser to gently rub the spot. For persistent spots, a dedicated suede cleaner applied as per instructions may be necessary.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoes
Remove insoles and allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area for at least 24 hours. Use cedar shoe trees or a shoe deodorizer spray to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially
Suede shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Care Instructions for Suede
Proper care is crucial to maintain the look and longevity of your suede sneakers:
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush (with soft wire or nylon bristles) to gently brush off dry dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner foam or liquid can be used, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not naturally waterproof. Avoid wearing your sneakers in heavy rain, snow, or muddy conditions. If they do get significantly wet, allow them to dry completely before brushing.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
