Troubleshooting

Uneven fit

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and try the sneakers on at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger. Refer to Nike's sizing guide for accurate measurements.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean suede and mesh sections with appropriate cleaners and protectants.

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder might help.
