FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your foot length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. Compare this measurement to the provided sizing chart. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it is recommended to select the larger size for a comfortable fit.
How does the FastFit lacing system work?
The FastFit system uses pull straps that allow you to quickly tighten the shoe for a secure fit. To loosen, typically there's a release mechanism or you can pull on specific parts of the strap system, depending on the exact design variation.
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
While the VaporMax Air unit offers excellent cushioning, these shoes are generally best suited for daily wear, walking, and moderate training sessions rather than high-mileage, long-distance running. For dedicated long-distance running, consider specialized running shoes.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. This can damage the Flyknit material, the Air cushioning unit, and the lacing system. Hand wash gently with mild soap and cold water.
What does the 'Air VaporMax' technology offer?
VaporMax technology re-imagines cushioning by placing Air units directly underfoot, eliminating the need for a traditional foam midsole. This provides a lightweight, springy feel and responsive impact absorption.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the 'Light Arctic Pink' colorway. The Air VaporMax 2020 Flyknit model is available in various color combinations, which can be explored through other product listings.
What is the benefit of the TPU heel counter being made from recycled materials?
Using recycled materials in the TPU heel counter contributes to Nike's sustainability initiatives by reducing waste and environmental impact, while still providing necessary heel support.
Troubleshooting
FastFit lacing system feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the pull straps for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the straps are difficult to adjust, ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism and try loosening completely before re-tightening.
Shoe feels uncomfortable or causes rubbing.
Ensure the size is correct, referring to the sizing guide and trying the larger size if between measurements. The Flyknit upper may need a few wears to fully conform to your foot shape.
VaporMax Air unit appears deflated or damaged.
Inspect the Air unit for any visible punctures or leaks. If damage is found, discontinue use as the cushioning may be compromised. Clean the unit regularly to prevent debris from causing wear.
Difficulty cleaning the knit material.
Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution with cold water. Gently scrub the affected areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoe.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the Flyknit upper. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the VaporMax Air unit and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the Air pods.
