FAQs

What is Flyleather?

Flyleather is a material made through an environmentally preferred process that uses at least 50% recycled leather fiber combined with synthetic materials. It offers a premium look and feel, enhanced durability, and a reduced environmental footprint compared to traditional leather.

How do I clean the Flyleather material?

Wipe the Flyleather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These are fashion sneakers designed for casual wear. While they offer comfort and good traction for walking, they are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.

What does 'Earth Day' signify for this shoe?

The 'Earth Day' designation highlights the shoe's use of sustainable materials like Flyleather and its eco-conscious design, aligning with environmental awareness themes.

How do the artistic elements hold up over time?

The artistic elements, including paint-inspired graphics and embroidery, are designed for durability. However, like all footwear, excessive wear or improper cleaning can affect their appearance.

What is the sizing like for this model?

Nike Blazer Lows generally fit true to size for most people. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to consult Nike's official sizing chart or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While Flyleather offers some resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials, especially the suede accents.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days. If it persists, check if the insole is slightly loose or try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Difficulty cleaning artistic details

Use a very soft brush (like a toothbrush or makeup brush) and a mild soap solution. Gently dab the area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap of the material. For persistent dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.

Color transfer from painted areas

This is unlikely with proper manufacturing, but if minor transfer occurs, use a damp cloth to gently wipe. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials until assured of colorfastness.
