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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly for optimal performance. If you plan to skate, break them in gradually to get a feel for the board.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for skateboarding and casual wear. They are compatible with most skateboards and can be styled with various streetwear outfits.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the canvas. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the rubber parts with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
