FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 'Kiss of Death' 2021?

The design is inspired by Chinese culture, philosophy, and traditional medicine, particularly focusing on foot pressure points and the concept of 'Qi' (life energy).

Are the translucent uppers durable?

The translucent upper is made from durable synthetic materials but, like any fashion sneaker, requires careful handling to avoid tears or scratches. Gentle cleaning is recommended.

What is the difference between the 2006 and 2021 versions?

The 2021 reissue maintains the original design's essence and details, including the translucent upper and detailed insoles, offering a refreshed version for a new generation while staying true to the original concept.

How should I clean the printed insoles?

Gently wipe the insoles with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back into the shoes.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While it features Air Max cushioning for comfort, this shoe is primarily a lifestyle and collector's item, designed more for style and cultural significance than high-performance athletic activities.

What size is this specific product listing?

This listing is for the CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 Kiss of Death 2021 in Orange, Size UK 9.5.

What materials are used for the Swoosh and collar?

The Swoosh features a faux snakeskin texture, and the collar utilizes an ostrich-textured material, contributing to the shoe's premium aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration of translucent materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with appropriate materials as outlined in the care instructions.

Faux snakeskin or textured panels scuffed

For minor scuffs, a soft brush may help lift superficial marks. For deeper scuffs, professional shoe cleaning services might be an option, though cosmetic wear is common with textured materials.

General dirt on outsole

Wipe the outsole clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly to prevent slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: As a pair of trainers, these shoes require no setup. Simply lace them up and wear.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult wear and are compatible with most casual attire. They are suitable for general walking and lifestyle wear.

Care:

  • Uppers: The translucent upper should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the material.
  • Suede/Textured Panels: For faux snakeskin and ostrich textures, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Test any cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Outsole: The icy-blue translucent outsole can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.
  • Insoles: If the insoles need cleaning, carefully remove them and wipe them down with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and direct sunlight, which can affect the translucent materials over time.
