FAQs

What does NOCTA mean?

NOCTA is a sub-label created in collaboration between Nike and Canadian artist Drake, inspired by his nocturnal creative process and the street style of cities around the world.

How do I clean the 'Palest Purple' leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated leather sneaker cleaner with a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Is the "Love You Forever" text durable?

The "Love You Forever" imprint is integrated into the transparent white rubber midsole. While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to abrasive surfaces or harsh cleaning agents should be avoided to preserve its appearance.

Are these sneakers suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, like classic Air Force 1s, these are designed for comfortable casual daily wear. The perforations enhance breathability, making them suitable for extended periods of use in urban environments.

How do I protect the color from fading?

Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a UV-protective spray designed for leather to help prevent color degradation over time.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium leather in a 'Palest Purple' shade.

Does this model fit true to size?

Nike Air Force 1 models generally fit true to size. If you are unsure, it is recommended to try them on or consult a Nike sizing chart.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or scuffed.

Gently clean the affected area with a leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Consider applying a leather conditioner specifically formulated for sneakers to restore its luster. For minor scuffs, a leather repair balm might help.

Midsole or outsole showing dirt/discoloration.

Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush with mild soap and water to scrub away dirt. For stubborn stains, specialized sneaker cleaning solutions for rubber components can be effective. Ensure to rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Creasing on the toe box.

Creasing is a natural occurrence with leather shoes during wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and try to avoid excessively tight lacing. There are also anti-crease shields available that can be inserted into the toe box.

Silver AF1 charm appears tarnished.

Gently wipe the charm with a soft, dry polishing cloth designed for jewelry. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the finish.

  • Drying: Air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against stains and water damage.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
