FAQs

What does 'Flyleather' mean?

Flyleather is a material made with at least 50% recycled leather fiber, using a new, more sustainable manufacturing process. It offers the performance and aesthetics of traditional leather but with a reduced environmental impact.

Is the artwork painted on or printed?

The artwork is integrated into the shoe's design during the manufacturing process, often a combination of printing and material application, characteristic of artist collaborations.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

While they are trainers with Air Max cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers due to their unique artistic and collectible nature. They are comfortable for walking and everyday activities but not intended for high-impact sports.

How does the sizing run for this specific model?

The Nike Air Max 90 generally runs true to size. However, sizing can sometimes vary slightly between models and collaborations. It's recommended to check Nike's official size charts or reviews if unsure.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can affect the leather and artwork, particularly the recycled leather fiber components.

What is the significance of the 'geometric' pattern?

The 'geometric' pattern refers to the overall visual style of Ruohan Wang's artwork on the sneaker, which often incorporates abstract shapes, lines, and vibrant color blocking, creating a distinct graphic look.

Troubleshooting

Artwork appears to be fading or peeling.

This is uncommon with proper care. Ensure you are only using a damp cloth for cleaning and avoiding abrasive materials or excessive rubbing. Store away from direct sunlight.

Discomfort or unusual fit.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to break in, as the materials might feel different from standard leather.

Material feels stiff.

The recycled leather fiber material may have a different initial feel than traditional leather. Consistent, gentle wear and proper conditioning (if a leather conditioner is suitable for recycled materials – test on an inconspicuous area first) may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, there is no 'setup' required. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general wear and are compatible with most casual attire. Their unisex design makes them suitable for a wide range of individuals.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Due to the artistic nature and recycled leather fiber material, it is recommended to clean these sneakers with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the artwork or material.
  • Drying: Air dry the sneakers naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can affect the materials and colors.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect the artwork from dust and potential damage. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.
