Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These sneakers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. The primary 'setup' involves deciding whether to keep the ripstop upper intact or to purposefully tear it away to reveal the leather underlay.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: Designed for adult male foot sizes. It is recommended to refer to Nike's sizing guides for the most accurate fit, considering the specific UK sizing provided (e.g., UK 9).
- Wardrobe: Highly compatible with casual and streetwear attire, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and t-shirts.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the ripstop material, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material. For the leather underlay, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water.
- Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap. A toothbrush can be useful for cleaning crevices.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust and sunlight. Avoid direct heat sources.
- Tearaway Feature: If you choose to tear the upper, do so carefully and deliberately. This is a one-time alteration.
