FAQs
What makes the Nike Space Hippie 01 sustainable?
The shoe is constructed using recycled materials like 'Space Waste Yarn' (made from recycled plastic bottles and fabric scraps) and Zoom X foam waste for the insoles. The Crater Foam midsole also utilizes recycled content.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While comfortable and lightweight, the Space Hippie 01 is primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, consider specialized Nike running shoes with advanced support and cushioning technologies.
How do I clean the speckled midsole?
You can clean the Crater Foam midsole with a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild soap solution. Gently scrub with a soft brush for stubborn marks.
What is the fit like?
The Flyknit upper provides a flexible, sock-like fit that conforms to the foot. The shoe is generally true to size, but adjust lacing for personalized comfort.
What does the Volt color represent?
The Volt accents are a vibrant design choice that adds contrast to the grey upper, highlighting key features like the Swoosh and lacing system.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the recycled materials and affect the shoe's structure. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. The Flyknit upper will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Dirt or scuffs on the midsole
Gently wipe the Crater Foam midsole with a damp cloth. A soft brush can help remove dried mud.
