FAQs
What materials are used in the Nike Air Force 1 '07 Animal?
These sneakers feature a durable leather upper with distinctive pony hair leopard print accents, a textile lining, and a rubber outsole with embedded Nike Air cushioning.
Are these shoes true to size?
Nike Air Force 1 '07 models generally run true to size for adult UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the pony hair material is best kept dry. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or puddles to preserve the appearance and integrity of the pony hair.
How do I clean the pony hair sections of the shoe?
Gently brush the pony hair with a soft, clean brush (like a suede brush) in the direction of the nap to remove dust. For minor spots, blot gently with a barely damp cloth; avoid rubbing or harsh cleaners.
Are these suitable for running or sports?
The Nike Air Force 1 '07 Animal is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, offering comfort for daily wear and light activities. It is not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive sports.
What is Nike Air cushioning?
Nike Air technology consists of pressurized air inside a tough, flexible bag that provides lightweight cushioning and impact absorption, offering comfortable wear throughout the day.
How can I prevent the leather from creasing?
While some creasing is natural with leather, you can minimize it by using shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn. Avoiding excessive bending of the toe box can also help.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath, and then reinserting it. This can reduce friction and noise.
Leather creasing on the toe box.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize significant creasing, use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers. You can also try to avoid excessive bending of the foot during wear, though some creasing is unavoidable.
Pony hair looking matted or dirty.
Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair's nap. For dirt, use a very lightly damp cloth to blot the affected area, avoiding rubbing, and then allow to air dry.
Shoes feel too snug or uncomfortable.
Ensure you've selected the correct UK size. New leather can be stiff; wearing them for short periods initially can help them break in. Adjusting the lacing can also provide more room or a more secure fit.
Difficult to clean the cream outsole.
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mixture of mild dish soap and water with a soft brush or old toothbrush. Gently scrub the outsole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Pony Hair Leopard Print Care

Drying & Storage

- Maintain Shape: Stuff the shoes with crumpled paper or use shoe trees while drying and storing to help maintain their original shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.
