FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the NikeCraft GPS Bricolage sneaker?

The primary purpose is to serve as a durable, everyday shoe designed for long-term wear and utility, rather than a high-performance athletic trainer or a fleeting fashion item.

What materials are used in the construction?

The shoe features a durable knitted upper, nylon herringbone donning straps, a low microfibre collar, and a 3-piece moulded cup sole consisting of a gum rubber midsole, rubber outsole, and EVA foam core.

How does the 'Bricolage' aspect influence the design?

The 'Bricolage' name reflects a hands-on, experimental approach to design, emphasizing the shoe as a functional tool meant to be used and adapted, embodying a spirit of DIY and longevity.

Is this shoe suitable for running or intense sports?

No, the NikeCraft GPS Bricolage is not designed as a performance athletic shoe. It is intended for everyday wear and light activities.

How should I clean the knitted upper?

Gently clean the knitted upper with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the significance of the debossed Nike logo?

The debossed "NIKE" logo on the heel is presented in Tom Sachs's distinctive handwriting, adding a unique artistic signature to the shoe.

Can I expect the shoes to change appearance over time?

Yes, the design encourages wear and tear as part of its character. The materials are intended to age and show signs of use, contributing to the shoe's long-term appeal as a functional tool.

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness or discomfort

The shoe is designed for long-term wear and may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Uneven wear on the sole

This can be a result of individual gait. Ensure the shoes are correctly sized. Consistent cleaning and proper storage can help maintain sole integrity.

Material scuffing or marking

The design philosophy embraces wear and tear. Minor scuffs can be a part of the shoe's character. For significant marks, refer to the care instructions for gentle cleaning.

Compatibility: The NikeCraft GPS Bricolage is designed as an everyday shoe, compatible with casual wear and various daily activities. It is not intended for specialized athletic performance.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the knitted upper with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
  2. Sole Care: Wipe the rubber outsole and midsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can warp or damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
