FAQs

What makes this Nike Air Alpha Force 88 a special project?

It is a special collaboration between Nike and the artist Billie Eilish, featuring a unique design and colorway inspired by their partnership.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather, offering durability and a high-quality finish.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and apply sparingly with a soft cloth.

Is this sneaker suitable for athletic performance?

While it features cushioning and a durable sole, it's primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for intense athletic training.

What does 'SP' in the product name signify?

SP typically stands for 'Special Project,' indicating a limited edition or collaborative release.

What is the typical fit of the Air Alpha Force 88?

The Air Alpha Force 88 generally fits true to size, with the added benefit of an adjustable midfoot strap for a customized fit.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

Leather can be damaged by excessive moisture. While they offer some protection, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during wear

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try loosening the laces, ensuring the tongue is centered, or applying a small amount of powder under the tongue or insole.

Leather creasing

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers and avoid bending the shoe excessively.

Color transfer from red accents

Ensure the sneakers are completely dry before wearing. If color transfer occurs onto socks, consider using a leather protector spray specifically designed for footwear, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure correct sizing. If still uncomfortable, wear with thicker socks or break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth.
  2. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash separately with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
  3. Suede/Nubuck (if applicable to accents): Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. Avoid water on suede areas.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or shoe trees to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and potential damage.
