FAQs

What are the Nike Space Hippie 01 shoes made from?

The upper is knitted from Space Waste Yarn, which is polyester made from recycled plastic bottles and other materials. The midsole is made of Crater Foam, a lightweight, resilient foam.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Space Hippie 01 is primarily designed for everyday comfort and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. Its cushioning is optimized for walking and daily use.

How do I clean my Space Hippie 01 trainers?

Clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth. For the midsole, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Yes, the Nike Space Hippie series has been released in various colorways and material combinations. This guide specifically covers the Black/Grey variant.

What does 'smallest carbon footprint' mean for Nike?

It indicates that Nike has utilized the least amount of energy and resources, and generated the least amount of waste during the manufacturing process for these specific sneakers compared to their other models.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the recycled materials and the construction of the shoe.

What is the inspiration behind the Space Hippie design?

The design is inspired by life on Mars and the concept of scarcity of resources, using recycled and scrap materials to create a forward-thinking aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight on first wear

The Space Waste Yarn upper is designed to conform to the foot over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in.

Slight variations in color or texture

This is a normal characteristic of the Space Waste Yarn, which is made from recycled materials. Each pair has unique variations.

Difficulty cleaning specific stains

For tougher stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for knit uppers. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning after prolonged use

The Crater Foam is designed for lightweight comfort. If cushioning feels diminished, it may be time to consider a replacement pair after extensive wear.
