Troubleshooting

Creasing on the nubuck upper

Minor creasing is natural with wear. To minimize appearance, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use. For persistent creases, a nubuck eraser can help lightly buff the area.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole, or if moisture gets trapped. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and ensuring they are completely dry before reinserting. A talcum powder application under the insole might also help.

Discoloration of white accents

Wipe the white areas gently with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for white materials. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Air unit feels deflated or less responsive

The Air unit is designed for durability but can degrade over extensive use. Ensure the shoe is clean and that no debris is obstructing the sole. If the cushioning has genuinely diminished, it may indicate the end of the product's effective lifespan for optimal performance.
