FAQs
What makes the Flyleather material special?
Flyleather is made using a process that combines recycled leather fiber with synthetic materials. It contains at least 50% recycled leather fiber by weight, making it a more sustainable alternative to traditional leather while maintaining a premium look and feel.
Who is Ruohan Wang?
Ruohan Wang is a visual artist based in Berlin, known for her vibrant and playful artwork that often incorporates themes of nature, humanity, and abstract forms. This collaboration brings her distinctive artistic style to the Nike Blazer silhouette.
How do I clean the multicolor graphics on the shoe?
Clean the graphics gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, as this can damage the printed artwork. For tougher spots, use a cotton swab with a very mild soap solution and dab carefully.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While the Nike Blazer 77 silhouette offers good comfort and support for casual wear, this particular model is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for its artistic and collectible value. It is not optimized for high-intensity athletic performance.
What is the significance of the purple outsole?
The all-purple outsole is a distinctive design choice that complements the colorful artwork on the upper and heel, adding another layer of visual interest and making the shoe stand out.
Where can I find other Nike x Ruohan Wang collaborations?
Other collaborations featuring Ruohan Wang's art might be available through Nike's official website, select retailers, or the secondary sneaker market. Availability can vary based on release dates and demand.
How does the sizing run for this model?
The Nike Blazer Mid 77 generally runs true to size for most people. However, if you have wider feet, you might consider trying them on or opting for a half-size larger for a more comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Artwork appears to be fading or cracking.
This can occur with excessive wear or improper cleaning. Avoid harsh scrubbing and direct heat. For minor issues, professional sneaker restoration services might offer solutions.
Material feels stiff initially.
Flyleather, especially with recycled content, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.
Difficulty cleaning specific graphic areas.
Use a cotton swab dipped in a mild cleaning solution for precise cleaning around detailed graphics. Ensure the swab is only damp, not wet, and test on an inconspicuous area first.
