FAQs
What are the main benefits of the Primeblue material?
Primeblue is made with Parley Ocean Plastic, which includes recycled waste intercepted from beaches and coastal communities before it reaches the ocean. It offers breathability and a unique texture while contributing to sustainability.
How does the Boost midsole perform?
The Boost midsole is known for its excellent shock absorption and energy return, providing a cushioned and responsive feel that makes walking and standing for long periods more comfortable.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the Boost midsole offers good cushioning, the NMD R1 Primeblue is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes might offer better support and performance.
How do I care for the gum outsole?
The gum outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Be aware that gum rubber can be prone to scuffing and picking up dirt, which may require regular cleaning to maintain its appearance.
What is the typical fit of the NMD R1?
The NMD R1 generally offers a snug, sock-like fit due to its adaptive upper. Many find they fit true to size, but if you have wider feet, you might consider sizing up.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best method for cleaning to preserve the materials and shape of the shoe.
What does 'Primeblue' signify?
Primeblue signifies that the product incorporates Parley Ocean Plastic, a material made from intercepted plastic waste collected from beaches and coastal communities. It's a step towards reducing environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks initially and allow the Primeblue upper to stretch slightly with wear. If still too tight, consider if a different size is needed.
Boost midsole appears dirty
Clean the Boost midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, use a soft brush or a magic eraser very gently.
Gum outsole showing scuffs
Minor scuffs on the gum outsole can sometimes be cleaned with a damp cloth or a magic eraser. Deeper scuffs may be permanent.
Primeblue upper discoloration
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
