FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The NMD_R1 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily use, not as a technical running shoe.

Does the leather upper breathe well?

While leather is durable, it is less breathable than mesh variants. It is best suited for moderate temperatures.

Can I remove the Velcro patch?

Yes, the Velcro patch is designed to be removable or replaceable for customization.

How do I determine the right size?

The NMD_R1 fits true to size for most users. Refer to the UK size guide provided to match your standard athletic shoe size.

Can these be machine washed?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Always use hand-cleaning methods.

Troubleshooting

The Velcro heel patch is losing its stickiness.

Use a lint roller or a small brush to remove debris or dust fibers trapped within the Velcro hooks.

Creasing in the leather upper.

This is normal with natural leather. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your NMD_R1 trainers stay in top condition, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains; do not submerge in water.
  2. Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the upper from drying out or cracking.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather discoloration.
  4. Customization: When adjusting the Velcro heel patch, ensure the surface is clean to maintain a strong grip.
