FAQs

Is this shoe intended for long-distance running?

While it draws inspiration from Nike's running history, this model is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker rather than a performance athletic shoe.

How do these fit compared to standard sneakers?

They generally follow standard sizing, but the layered construction may feel slightly snug across the midfoot due to the dual-tongue design.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the intricate woven upper and the layered foam components. Hand cleaning is recommended.

Are the laces functional?

Yes, both sets of laces are fully functional and should be adjusted to ensure a secure fit.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of intricate mesh and premium textiles woven together in a basket-weave pattern.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty keeping laces tidy

Ensure both sets of laces are tensioned evenly before tying to maintain the layered aesthetic.

Debris caught in the weave

Use a soft, dry brush to gently remove dust and particulates from between the woven textiles.

Creasing on the foam midsole

Foam compression is natural; use a damp cloth to wipe down the midsole after wear to prevent dirt buildup in the creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, avant-garde design language
  • Premium collaborative craftsmanship
  • Breathable woven textile upper
  • Eye-catching extended midsole silhouette

Cons

  • Extended heel design requires care to avoid scuffing
  • Complex layered construction can be difficult to clean
  • Design-heavy aesthetic may not suit all personal styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the shoe features a complex weave, keep it away from abrasive surfaces that could snag the threads. To clean the woven material, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe to preserve the structural integrity of the layered tongues. Due to the unique double-tongue and lace setup, ensure you lace each set individually to maintain the intended silhouette. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white colorway.
