FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick socks, some users recommend going up a half size.
Can I use these for intense exercise?
These are lifestyle trainers based on vintage basketball designs. They lack the specialized impact absorption required for intense gym workouts or long-distance running.
How do I keep the white rubber sole clean?
Wipe the rubber side walls regularly with a damp cloth or a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution to prevent permanent staining.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While durable, the suede and leather materials are not waterproof. It is best to treat them with a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in light rain.
Do the laces come loose easily?
The cotton laces are designed for a secure hold. Ensure they are double-knotted if you find they come undone during extended periods of walking.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the foot into the mid-top opening
Loosen the top three eyelets of the laces completely before sliding your foot in to provide more room for the ankle.
Creasing on the leather upper
Creasing is a natural characteristic of high-quality leather. Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape.
Dirt stuck in the sole tread
Use a toothpick or a stiff-bristled cleaning brush to carefully dislodge debris from the herringbone pattern of the rubber outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Blazer Mid '77 Vintage trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: When wearing them for the first time, ensure the cotton laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to accommodate the mid-top structure.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair well with slim-fit jeans, chinos, or joggers, allowing the silhouette to remain the focal point of the outfit.
- Care: Spot clean the leather and suede upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the vulcanized rubber sole and the textured tread pattern.
