FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the NMD_R1 is designed for movement and comfort, it is primarily a lifestyle and casual trainer rather than a dedicated high-performance running shoe.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.

Can I replace the Velcro heel patch?

Yes, the heel overlay is designed to allow for customization, so you can swap out patches to suit your personal style.

Is the sizing true to fit?

The NMD_R1 generally fits true to size for most men, but because of the leather material, it may have a slightly more structured feel compared to mesh versions.

What is the primary material used?

This specific variant features a high-quality leather upper, providing a premium look and increased durability.

Troubleshooting

Heel Velcro patch not adhering properly

Check for lint or debris caught in the Velcro hooks and clean using a stiff brush or a piece of tape.

Leather showing scuff marks

Use a leather conditioner or a mild cream polish that matches the core black color to buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your NMD_R1 trainers last, it is essential to follow a regular care routine. Since these are constructed with leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material structure. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or warping. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use, and use shoe trees to maintain their shape over time.
