Nike Blazer Mid '77 Jumbo - White - UK 8.5

The Nike Blazer Mid '77 Jumbo tends to fit true to size but may feel slightly narrow for individuals with wider feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider sizing up if you typically require a wider fit.

For leather, use a damp cloth and mild cleaner. For suede, use a dry suede brush or eraser. Avoid getting water on the suede parts.

The 'Jumbo' version features exaggerated design elements like an oversized Swoosh, jumbo laces, and an elastic heel with larger pull tabs, offering a more contemporary and bolder take on the classic Blazer silhouette.

While inspired by basketball heritage, the 'Jumbo' is primarily designed as a lifestyle or casual wear sneaker. They offer good traction and support for everyday activities but are not recommended for high-impact athletic performance.

'Mid' refers to the mid-top cut of the shoe. '77' signifies the year the original Nike Blazer was introduced, highlighting its vintage roots.

The vulcanized rubber outsole with a raised herringbone pattern is designed for durability and provides excellent traction, suitable for regular daily wear.

Ensure the eyelets are clear. The oversized nature of the laces may require a slightly different lacing technique; try lacing them loosely first and then tightening gradually.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always allow suede to air dry.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Ensure the insoles are properly seated and dry the shoes completely if they have been exposed to water.

The elastic heel is designed for a snug fit. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The elastic should adapt to your foot's shape over time.
