What does the 'double-stacked foam midsole' do?

Troubleshooting
Sizing concerns
Refer to Nike's official size charts for accurate measurements. Consider the fit of the transparent mesh and synthetic overlays when selecting your size. If unsure, try them on if possible or consult customer reviews for fit feedback.
Material discoloration
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner suitable for mesh and suede.
Reduced cushioning over time
The double-stacked foam midsole is designed for longevity, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive wear. Ensure proper care to maintain material integrity. If significant loss of cushioning occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.
