FAQs
What materials are the Nike Blazer Mid '77 Catechu made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from durable tumbled leather and canvas, with rubber for the outsole.
How do I clean the different materials on this shoe?
Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For leather, use a mild leather cleaner. For canvas, a mixture of water and mild soap can be used. Always allow to air dry.
Are these suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball sneaker, the Blazer Mid '77 Catechu is designed as a lifestyle shoe for everyday wear, not for high-performance athletic activities.
What does the 'Catechu' inspiration mean?
The name and colorway are inspired by catechu extract derived from acacia trees, reflected in the earthy tones and acacia leaf details on the shoe.
What is the fit like?
The fit is generally true to size for a standard width foot. However, some users with wider feet may find them slightly narrow and may prefer to size up.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather and rubber offer some protection, the canvas and stitching may not be fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use protective sprays.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose.
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. If they feel too tight, consider sizing up half a size, especially if you have wider feet. If too loose, ensure laces are tied correctly for a snug fit.
Creasing on the leather.
Some creasing is natural with leather over time. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when storing them and avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.
Discoloration of the pink or brown accents.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean accents gently with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaner for the material.
