FAQs
What is the main material of the Nike Kwondo 1?
The Nike Kwondo 1 trainers are primarily made of leather.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
The Kwondo 1 is designed more for lifestyle and fashion rather than high-performance athletic activities.
How do I convert my foot length to the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart in the product description. It provides conversions from CM foot length to UK sizes, noting that the CM size on the box may differ from foot length.
What is the significance of the 'Kwondo 1' name and design?
The design is a collaboration with G-Dragon and blends elements inspired by martial arts ('Taekwondo') and fashion.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While leather can offer some protection, it is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the difference between the shoe size on the box and foot length in CM?
The CM size displayed on shoe boxes and labels often refers to the internal shoe measurement, which can differ from the actual foot length measurement.
How should I store my Nike Kwondo 1 trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ideally in their original box or with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Some creasing is normal with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Difficulty finding the right size
Consult the detailed size chart provided, noting the difference between CM foot length and CM shoe box size. Compare with your usual UK shoe size.
