FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Nike Air Force 1s generally fit true to size for most individuals. If you have wider feet, some users suggest going up half a size, but it's best to consult Nike's official size guide or try them on if possible.

How do I clean the red Swoosh without damaging it?

The University Red Swoosh is typically made of synthetic leather. You can clean it gently with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that might strip its colour or finish.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the leather and inner materials. Consider applying a water and stain repellent for added protection.

What's the best way to prevent creases?

The most effective ways to minimize creasing are to use shoe trees when not wearing them and to walk properly, avoiding excessive bending of the foot. Some people also use 'crease protectors' inserted into the toe box.

Is the Nike Air cushioning noticeable?

Yes, the Nike Air cushioning in the thick midsole is designed to provide responsive, lightweight comfort. You should feel a noticeable level of shock absorption, making them comfortable for extended wear.

How durable is the leather?

The premium leather upper is quite durable and designed for longevity. With proper care and regular cleaning, it can withstand daily wear and maintain its appearance for a significant period.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or cracking

Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather moisturized. Use shoe trees when storing to help maintain the shoe's original shape.

Stains on the leather upper

Use a specialized leather cleaner with a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions. For minor marks, a sneaker wipe can be effective.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes be caused by moisture. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe, under the insole. If it persists, inspect the sole for any loose components (rare).

Yellowing of white midsole/outsole

While difficult to completely prevent over time, clean regularly with a mild soap solution and a brush. Dedicated sole-whitening products can sometimes restore colour.

Unpleasant odour inside the shoe

Remove insoles and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odours. Ensure shoes dry completely after wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Wear & Setup

  1. Initial Inspection: Before wearing, inspect your new trainers for any manufacturing imperfections.
  2. Try On Indoors: Wear them indoors for a short period to ensure a comfortable fit. This also keeps the soles clean in case an exchange is needed.
  3. Lacing: Experiment with different lacing styles to find what's most comfortable and secure for your foot.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and can complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits:

  • Bottoms: Pair them with denim jeans (slim, straight, or relaxed fit), cargo pants, joggers, chinos, or even tailored shorts.
  • Tops: They work well with t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, casual button-downs, and light jackets.
  • Seasonal: Suitable for all seasons, though in colder, wetter conditions, consider protecting the leather from excessive moisture.

Care & Maintenance

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt and dust.
  • Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, following product instructions.
  • Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  • Protecting Leather: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. A water and stain repellent spray designed for leather can also offer protection.
  • Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
