FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from durable canvas in a 'Sail' colorway.
Does this shoe have Air cushioning?
This model features a polyurethane midsole and does not display visible Air technology in the heel.
What makes this shoe a collaboration?
It is a collaboration between Nike Skateboarding and Supreme, featuring distinct branding from both entities.
Is this shoe suitable for professional skateboarding?
While designed with skate upgrades and durable materials, it is best suited for casual skateboarding and streetwear. For professional-level impacts, dedicated performance skate shoes might offer more protection.
What does 'Sail' refer to in the colorway?
'Sail' refers to an off-white or cream color, which is the primary hue of the shoe's upper.
How should I clean the leather Swoosh?
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers, or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water and allow to air dry naturally.
What is the significance of the reversed Swoosh?
The reversed leather Swoosh on the heel is a distinctive design choice by the collaborators, adding a unique visual element to the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and wear thicker socks for a more comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if this size is suitable for your foot shape.
Canvas appears dirty
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the canvas. For tougher stains, spot clean with a mild detergent and water, then air dry.
Sole feels stiff
The polyurethane midsole may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow them to flex and conform to your foot.
