FAQs
What makes the Flyleather material different?
Flyleather is made from at least 50% recycled leather fiber, processed using a new method that creates a leather material that is more sustainable, durable, and water-resistant than traditional leather, while maintaining a premium feel.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, these are lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and comfort. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for athletic performance activities like running or basketball.
How do I clean the multicolor brush stroke details?
Gently wipe the details with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the artwork. For tougher spots, a specialized cleaner for printed textiles might be suitable, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design is a collaboration with artist Mayumi Yamase, featuring artistic details inspired by her freehand and watercolor painting techniques, reflecting themes of nature and artistic expression.
What does 'Earth Day' refer to in relation to this shoe?
This specific colorway or collection may have been released around Earth Day, highlighting Nike's commitment to sustainability with the use of Flyleather and other eco-conscious elements.
What is the fit like for the Blazer Low?
The Blazer Low generally has a true-to-size fit. However, due to the design and materials, some users may prefer to size up or down slightly for a more personalized fit, especially if they have wider feet.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with your preferred aftermarket insoles for added comfort or support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize visible creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Dirt or smudges on artistic details
Use a very soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the painted or printed elements. For stubborn marks, consult specialized sneaker cleaning guides for artistic prints.
Suede becoming matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
Laces fraying
Replace frayed laces with new ones. Ensure the new laces match the original style and length for the best aesthetic.
