FAQs
What material are these trainers made from?
The Nike Cortez '23 'White Black Light Photo Blue' features a smooth white leather base with rolled black leather accents on the Swooshes and heel.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good general support, they are not specialized athletic shoes for high-impact sports.
How should I clean the white leather?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for white leather, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of Sail rubber, providing durability and traction for everyday use.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the primary color family?
The primary color family is White, with secondary accents of Black and Light Photo Blue.
Do these trainers come in other sizes or colors?
This specific listing is for a UK size 4.5 in White and Black. Other sizes and colorways may be available under different product listings.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try inserting a talcum powder or a dryer sheet inside the shoe to absorb moisture and reduce friction. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner according to product instructions. Allow it to absorb before wearing.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For enhanced grip on very smooth surfaces, consider adding rubber sole grips, available at shoe repair shops.
Discoloration on white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for white leather. For persistent marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
