FAQs

What is Space Waste Yarn?

Space Waste Yarn is a material used by Nike that is made from recycled plastic bottles and other scrap materials, contributing to a lower carbon footprint in manufacturing.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Space Hippie 01 is primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.

How do I clean the recycled materials?

Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and the midsole with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing to protect the recycled fibers.

What inspired the design of the Space Hippie 01?

The design is inspired by life on Mars and the concept of resource scarcity, utilizing recycled and scrap materials to mimic a future where resources are limited.

What is Crater Foam?

Crater Foam is a lightweight, responsive foam used in the midsole of the Space Hippie 01, providing cushioning and comfort derived from recycled manufacturing waste.

Where can I find other sizes or colors?

Please check the 'variant_siblings' section or Nike's official website for availability of different sizes and colorways.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. If the issue persists, ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to Nike's sizing guide for accurate measurements.

Discoloration on the midsole

Clean the Crater Foam midsole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure shoes are fully dried before storing.

Stitching appears loose

For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. If significant stitching issues arise, contact Nike customer support for warranty or repair options.

Care:

To maintain the integrity and appearance of your Nike Space Hippie 01 trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Space Waste Yarn upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the recycled fibers.
