How does the sizing run for Air Force 1s?
Nike Air Force 1s generally run true to size for most people. However, if you have narrow feet, you might consider sizing down half a size. It's always recommended to try them on if possible or consult a size chart.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these sneakers are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. It's best to avoid excessive moisture to maintain the material's condition.
What are the main colors of this sneaker?
The main colors are "Malachite" green for the tumbled leather upper, complemented by blue Swooshes and white accents on the midsole and branding details. Metallic gold is also used for dubraes and eyelets.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks on leather
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. For tougher marks, a specialized leather eraser might be effective. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Soles losing their white appearance
Use a magic eraser or a specialized shoe sole cleaner with a soft brush to carefully remove dirt and scuffs from the rubber sole.
Creasing on the toe box
Creasing is natural with leather footwear due to repeated flexing. To minimize the appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
