Product Information

Full details

The Nike SB Air Max Ishod Wair is designed for adult male skateboarders seeking durability and comfort. Its key benefit is the fusion of skate shoe toughness with the responsive cushioning of Max Air technology, allowing for hard skating sessions. A potential caveat is the break-in period, though the cupsole is engineered to minimize this. This shoe draws inspiration from '90s hoops designs and features rugged suede and leather, updated mesh, exposed Nike Air, and a flexible cupsole with a reliable herringbone outsole grip.

FAQs

What is Max Air technology?

Max Air is a cushioning technology developed by Nike. It features a pressurized air unit within the midsole, visible through a window in the sole, designed to provide responsive cushioning and impact protection.

How durable is the Nike SB Air Max Ishod Wair for skating?

The shoe is built with rugged suede and leather materials, intended to withstand the high-impact and abrasive nature of skateboarding.

Is there a break-in period for these shoes?

The cupsole is engineered to minimize the break-in time, but some skaters may still experience a short period of adjustment to achieve optimal flexibility and comfort.

What does the 'Ishod Wair' name signify?

The name honors American professional skateboarder Ishod Wair. The shoe features 'Ishod' debossed on the hidden eyestays and 'Wair' embroidered on top.

What kind of grip does the outsole provide?

The outsole features a herringbone pattern, which is designed to offer reliable traction and grip on a skateboard.

Can these shoes be used for general running or athletic activities?

While comfortable, the Nike SB Air Max Ishod Wair is specifically designed with skateboarding features in mind. For dedicated running or other sports, specialized footwear is recommended.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design is infused with elements taken from iconic '90s basketball shoes, combining retro style with modern skateboarding functionality.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on the skateboard.

Clean the outsole using a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris from the herringbone pattern.

Discomfort during initial wear.

The cupsole is designed for a quick break-in. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure they are laced correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Visible dirt on the black gum colorway.

Gently clean affected areas with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Suede areas should be cleaned with a suede eraser or brush. Allow to air dry completely.

Care:
