FAQs

What is the 'Postal Ghost' theme?

The 'Postal Ghost' theme is inspired by postal services, featuring design elements like shipping labels and an all-over text print reminiscent of mail documentation, combined with a unique vacuum-sealed construction.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the vacuum-sealed upper provides a degree of water resistance, they are not fully waterproof and are best kept away from heavy rain or submersion.

How do I clean the vacuum-sealed upper?

Gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which could damage the sealed laminate material.

What size should I order?

These are a UK size 4.5. For other sizes, please refer to the available sibling products or Nike's official sizing charts, as sizing can vary between models.

Is the 'Air Force 1' text printed on or part of the material?

The 'Air Force 1' text is printed throughout the vacuum-sealed laminate upper.

Can I wear these for athletic activities?

These sneakers are designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities, as their construction prioritizes unique aesthetics over specialized sports performance.

Troubleshooting

Laminate appears creased or wrinkled.

Minor creases may appear with wear. Store the shoes with shoe trees to help maintain shape. Avoid excessive bending or pressure on the upper.

Difficulty cleaning specific marks.

For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution on a damp cloth and gently rub. Immediately wipe away any residue with a clean, damp cloth. Test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced breathability.

These shoes feature a sealed upper for their unique aesthetic. Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Color transfer from upper to socks.

While unlikely with proper care, initial wears could potentially lead to minor color transfer. This is more common if the shoe is exposed to moisture. Wearing darker socks initially can help mitigate this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a footwear item, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Experimental 'Postal Ghost' requires no 'setup' in the traditional sense; they are ready to wear upon purchase. Their compatibility is primarily with casual apparel.

Care Instructions:

Due to the vacuum-sealed laminate upper, it's crucial to handle these sneakers with care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this could compromise the sealed material.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the laminate.
  3. Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
  4. Avoid Harsh Conditions: Refrain from wearing these shoes in extremely wet or muddy conditions, as the sealed upper is not designed for heavy-duty water resistance.
