FAQs

What does the vacuum-sealed treatment do?

The vacuum-sealed treatment is an experimental finish that gives the shoe a unique, preserved appearance and feel. It's part of the experimental design concept.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to Nike's official size chart for men's footwear. Measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing provided. Since these are lace-up shoes with an adjustable drawcord, a snug but comfortable fit is ideal.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

No, these are fashion-oriented sneakers designed for casual wear. They do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for athletic activities.

What is the inspiration behind this design?

The design is inspired by the oxygen masks worn by Nike athletes during performance testing in Nike's sports research lab.

How durable is the exposed foam on the tongue?

The exposed foam is part of the vintage-inspired design. While durable for casual wear, excessive friction or rough handling might lead to fraying over time.

What does the neon patch on the heel signify?

The neon patch reads 'This Label Is Your Guarantee Of Quality' and serves as a unique branding element and a stamp of approval from Nike.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the vacuum-sealed upper, exposed foam, and other design elements. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty adjusting the elastic drawcord

Ensure the lace lock is properly aligned. Gently push down on the lock to release tension and then re-tighten.

Creasing on the vacuum-sealed upper

Minor creasing is normal with wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening the laces and ensure proper storage when not in use. Do not attempt to iron or heat the material.

Gum sole becoming sticky

Clean the sole with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure it is completely dry before wearing again. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat.

Exposed foam edges showing wear

The exposed foam is part of the design. For minor fraying, a very light trim with small scissors might be considered, but proceed with caution to avoid damaging the shoe.
