Product Information
Full details
The Nike Skylon 11 Trainers are designed for adult men who appreciate a fusion of late-2000s retro aesthetics and contemporary comfort, making them an ideal choice for casual everyday wear or light training. These trainers feature a lightweight, breathable mesh construction with supportive chunky cushioning for all-day wearability, though users should note that the specific design relies on a traditional lace-up closure which may require frequent adjustment compared to slip-on styles.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by retro runners, these are primarily designed for casual use and walking rather than high-performance distance running.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers are listed in standard UK adult sizing. It is best to match them against your existing Nike footwear for the most accurate fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The mesh upper is breathable and therefore not waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather.
How do I maintain the vibrant red colour?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and clean using only gentle, non-abrasive methods to preserve the integrity of the fabric.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, lightweight mesh with synthetic contrast overlays for structure.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The chunky cushioning offers decent general support, though individuals with specific orthopedic needs may consider adding their own insoles.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly come untied
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces are sliding, or replace with aftermarket textured laces.
Debris trapped in mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum on the lowest setting to gently pull debris out from the weave.
Sole feels stiff after storage
The cushioning material is temperature-sensitive. Allow the shoes to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Skylon 11 Trainers maintain their appearance and structure, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. These shoes follow standard sizing; it is recommended to wear them with medium-thickness athletic socks.
- Fastening: Adjust the laces to achieve a firm but comfortable tension that allows for natural foot flexion.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh and sole. For deeper stains, dab gently with a mixture of mild soap and water; avoid machine washing as this can compromise the cushioning and structural adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red colourway from fading.
