FAQs
What does 'Catechu' refer to?
'Catechu' refers to a natural extract derived from the Indian acacia tree, which inspired the color palette and design elements of this sneaker, particularly the light sienna accents and subtle graphic on the heel.
Are these shoes good for running?
No, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Catechu is designed as a lifestyle sneaker, not for running. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they lack the specialized support and features required for running.
How should I clean the light sienna parts?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution. Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning agents to prevent damage to the color or material.
What is the main material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from white synthetic leather, complemented by canvas fabric for added texture and breathability.
Are these unisex?
These are specifically listed in women's sizing. While style preferences vary, they are designed and sized for a female fit.
What year was the original Air Force 1 released?
The original Nike Air Force 1 was designed by Bruce Kilgore and released in 1982.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition and prevent potential damage.
What is the typical retail price for these sneakers?
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Catechu first hit the market with a retail price of $110 USD.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts. Try wearing thicker socks, or ensure the laces are tied to provide adequate support. If the squeak persists, it might be an internal issue.
Color transfer from materials
In humid conditions or when wet, there's a slight chance of color transfer. Ensure the shoes are dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If transfer occurs, clean the affected area gently.
Sole feels stiff initially
New rubber soles can be stiff. Consistent wear will help break them in and improve flexibility and comfort over time.
Laces wearing out
Replace laces with a similar length and material. Standard athletic laces are typically compatible.
