FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the 'Catechu' colorway?

The 'Catechu' colorway is inspired by catechu extract derived from acacia trees, featuring earthy brown tones and subtle pink accents.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for everyday wear and comfort, not for rigorous athletic performance.

What materials are used in the Nike Blazer Mid '77 'Catechu'?

The shoes feature a durable tumbled leather upper with canvas accents, and rubber soles.

How should I clean the unique Swoosh and heel details?

Gently wipe these areas with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

What does the text above the heel mean?

The text above the heel provides the definition of 'catechu', referencing the natural inspiration for the colorway.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their condition.

What is the sizing like for this model?

This is a women's sized shoe. It is recommended to consult a size guide for the most accurate fit, as sizing can vary between models.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Wear with thin socks initially and allow the leather to break in. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.

Color transfer from pink accents

Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored clothing or surfaces, especially when wet. Clean gently with a damp cloth.

Squeaking sound when walking

Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, a bit of talcum powder under the insole can help resolve squeaks.

Dirt buildup on midsole

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently scrub the midsole. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
