Nike Air Force 1 - Brown - Suede - UK 7

No, as they are made from suede, they are not inherently waterproof. It is highly recommended to apply a protective spray specifically designed for suede before wearing them to help repel water and stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Nike Air Force 1s typically fit true to size for most individuals. We recommend purchasing your usual Nike size. If you are between sizes, it's often best to size up by half a size for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes as it can damage the material, alter the color, and compromise the shoe's structure. Always opt for hand-cleaning methods specifically designed for suede.

The 'Air unit' is Nike's proprietary cushioning technology. It's a durable, flexible bag filled with pressurized air located in the midsole, designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive, comfortable feel with every step.

While some creasing is natural with wear, you can minimize it by ensuring you have the correct size. Using shoe trees when storing your sneakers can also help maintain their shape. Dedicated 'crease protectors' inserted into the toe box while wearing can also be used.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For dry dirt, a suede eraser can help lift spots. For deeper stains, a suede cleaning kit is recommended.

While the Air unit is designed for longevity, prolonged heavy use can compress insoles. Consider replacing the standard insoles with new, supportive ones to refresh the cushioning feel.

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. For a more permanent solution, you can try different lacing techniques that create more friction or consider replacing the laces with ones that have a coarser texture if desired.

For light scuffs on the rubber sole, use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution, or a magic eraser for more stubborn marks. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
