FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Nike Air Skylon 2 generally fits true to size. Ensure you refer to the specific UK 10.5 sizing when ordering this model.

Can I use these for running?

While they feature Air technology, they are primarily designed as casual, lifestyle trainers. They are not recommended for high-intensity distance running.

What is the primary material?

The upper is constructed from a blend of synthetic and textile materials designed to mimic the original 90s build.

How do I maintain the purple color?

Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach. Clean gently with water and mild detergent, and let them air dry in the shade.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The streamlined upper profile offers a standard width. If you have very wide feet, you may want to try them on for fit or consider a half-size up if available.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box

Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help them retain their shape.

Difficulty cleaning the midsole

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild dish soap mixture to lift stains without damaging the foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Skylon 2 sneakers stay in top condition, start by checking your UK sizing (10.5 for this variant). For daily care, wipe the upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can degrade the adhesives and structural foam. If the midsoles become scuffed, a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water will restore the white finish. Store the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the purple accents.
