Troubleshooting
Laces loosening frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Discoloration of the purple upper
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as per care instructions. Do not use harsh chemicals.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air unit is designed for durability, but cushioning naturally decreases with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider rotating footwear.
Creasing on the toe box
