FAQs

When was the Nike Air Flight Huarache Lakers Away released?

The Nike Air Flight Huarache Lakers Away was released on August 10th, 2023.

What makes the Huarache fit unique?

The Huarache fit utilizes a neoprene inner bootie combined with exoskeletal overlays, creating a snug, sock-like feel with added support and flexibility.

Is this shoe suitable for outdoor basketball?

While the shoe is durable, it is primarily designed for indoor court performance. Using it extensively on rough outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear of the outsole and materials.

How do I clean the purple and gold accents?

Clean these areas gently with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid excessive rubbing or abrasive cleaners to prevent color transfer or damage.

What does the 'Lakers Away' in the name signify?

It refers to the shoe's color scheme, which is inspired by the Los Angeles Lakers' team colors used for their away games, typically featuring purple and gold.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or different insoles for personalized comfort and support.

What is the benefit of the extended ankle cut?

The extended ankle cut provides additional support and stability to the ankle joint, helping to secure the foot and potentially reduce the risk of sprains during play.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

The Huarache design can feel snug. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to Nike's sizing guide if unsure.

Traction is reduced on dusty courts

Dust can accumulate on the outsole, reducing grip. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth or brush it vigorously on the court surface to remove dust and restore traction.

Discomfort in the heel area

Ensure the laces are properly tied to secure the heel. If discomfort persists after break-in, check for any internal debris or stitching issues.

Materials show signs of wear quickly

Avoid using the shoes on rough outdoor surfaces, which can accelerate wear. Clean and care for the shoes regularly as per the care instructions to prolong their lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. No specific setup is required. It is recommended to try them on to ensure a proper fit before use.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball courts. While suitable for casual wear, the performance features are optimized for athletic activities on indoor surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shoe's shape.
