Full details

FAQs
What percentage of the Nike Space Hippie 01 is made from recycled materials?
The upper is made from at least 85% recycled polyester, and the shoe overall is made with at least 50% recycled materials by weight.
How does the ZoomX foam insole feel?
The ZoomX foam insole provides a highly cushioned and responsive feel, similar to what is found in Nike's elite running shoes, offering an extraordinary walking experience.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning for walking, the Nike Space Hippie 01 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear and not for high-impact running activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The bootie construction provides a snug fit. The shoe should feel secure without being uncomfortably tight. There should be adequate room in the toe box without excessive movement.
What is Nike Grind rubber?
Nike Grind rubber is made from recycled manufacturing scrap and worn-out Nike shoes, providing durability and a unique speckled aesthetic to the midsole and outsole.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and construction.
What does 'Black Volt' refer to in the name?
'Black Volt' typically refers to the colorway, indicating a primarily black shoe with accents of a bright, electric yellow (Volt) color.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or snug
This is often due to the bootie-like construction. Try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces if applicable. If the tightness persists after a few wears, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning over time
While ZoomX foam is durable, cushioning can slightly decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not over-tightening the laces, as this can affect the feel of the cushioning. For significant loss, consider if the shoes have reached the end of their typical lifespan.
Difficulty cleaning the speckled midsole
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the speckled areas to lift dirt. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
