FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing soccer?

No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by soccer heritage, not performance athletic equipment for the pitch.

Do these fit true to size?

The Nike Air Max line generally fits true to size, though the leather upper may feel firmer than mesh alternatives initially.

How do I clean the white sections on the midsole?

Use a damp sponge with mild soap to gently scrub the foam midsole, taking care to avoid getting the leather upper wet.

What is the inspiration behind this specific design?

This design celebrates the 2006 Joga Bonito campaign and the iconic style of Ronaldo Nazário's Mercurial R9 boots.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While durable, the leather construction is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray and avoid heavy downpours.

Are these shoes unisex?

While the specific variant listed is a male-sized model, the silhouette is popular across genders; please check the size guide carefully.

Troubleshooting

Leather appearing dull or dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner and buff with a soft cloth.

Outsole losing traction

Use a damp brush to remove dirt and debris trapped in the tread patterns.

Creasing in the toe box

Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Celebrates iconic football history with a distinct aesthetic
  • Signature Air cushioning provides excellent comfort
  • Durable leather construction for long-term wear
  • Versatile design suitable for casual daily use

Cons

  • Leather requires specific cleaning techniques
  • Limited availability due to collector-focused design
  • Not intended for active soccer pitch performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these sneakers feature a high-quality leather upper, care is essential to maintain the finish. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust after use and treat the leather with a protective spray if wearing them in damp conditions. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading. Ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, as the leather material offers minimal stretch over time compared to knit uppers. When cleaning, avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can strip the natural oils from the leather.
