FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

The Nike Blazer Mid '77 is a retro lifestyle shoe, originally inspired by basketball. While they offer good traction and durability, they are not designed for high-impact sports or professional athletic performance compared to modern specialized trainers.

How do I know if I have the right size?

This guide specifies a UK Size 6. It is recommended to compare this with your usual shoe size. You can also consult Nike's official size charts for precise measurements.

What does 'autoclave construction' mean?

Autoclave construction refers to a process where the sole is fused to the upper at high temperatures, creating a durable, streamlined bond. This method is common in vulcanized shoes.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, glue, and other materials. Hand cleaning as described in the care section is the preferred method.

What is the significance of the exposed foam on the tongue?

The exposed foam tongue is a hallmark of the original Blazer design from the 1970s, contributing to its authentic vintage aesthetic.

How does the Summit White/Metallic Silver colorway differ?

The 'Summit White Silver' variant, as described, features a crisp white leather upper with a metallic silver Swoosh and vintage silver Nike branding. The 'White/Grey' designation implies a similar base with grey accents or variations, and a specific UK size 6 is featured in this guide.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal for leather shoes with use. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Suede looking matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser or cleaner.

Outer sole losing traction

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Small debris can affect grip. For significant wear, replacement may be considered.

Exposed foam on tongue becoming discolored

Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Some discoloration is a natural part of the vintage design.

  • Timeless, versatile retro design suitable for various styles.
  • Durable leather upper ensures longevity.

  • Classic Nike branding for an authentic look.
  • Good traction provided by the herringbone outsole.

Cons

  • Exposed foam on the tongue may wear over time.
  • Leather can scuff or crease with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility:

Highly compatible with a wide range of casual wear, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and athletic-inspired outfits.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For stains, a suede cleaner or eraser may be necessary.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the vintage treatment or rubber.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
