FAQs

What makes the 'Jewel QS' special?

The 'Jewel QS' (Quickstrike) designation refers to a special release featuring unique design elements, in this case, the distinctive sculptural, clear-coated jeweled Swoosh and NYC-specific branding.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. While they offer cushioning and support, they are not engineered for high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I clean the jeweled Swoosh?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the jeweled Swoosh. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they could scratch or damage the finish.

What does 'NYC' on the shoe signify?

The 'NYC' embroidery and branding are a nod to Nike's historical releases that were exclusive or inspired by New York City, adding a unique thematic element to the design.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium tumbled leather, offering a durable and classic aesthetic.

How is the sizing for this model?

The Nike Air Force 1 Mid generally runs true to size for most wearers. It's recommended to consult Nike's official size chart for the most accurate fit, especially considering the mid-top cut and adjustable strap.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, it is not recommended to wear these extensively in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can affect the material's appearance and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too long or short

Adjust lacing tightness or consider replacing with laces of a different length for a personalized fit.

Leather shows creases

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Swoosh appears dull

Gently clean the jeweled Swoosh with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.

Sole feels stiff initially

New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
