Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the Nike sizing chart for the Air Griffey Max 1. Retro models can sometimes have slightly different fits than modern releases. Ensure you have the correct UK size as listed.
Stiffness or discomfort on first wear
New leather and synthetic materials can be stiff. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in gradually. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Color transfer onto socks
Darker or vibrant colors, especially in retro releases, may experience some initial color bleeding. This is more common with moisture. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider wearing darker socks initially.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather and synthetic materials. To minimize severe creasing, avoid bending the shoe excessively when not wearing it and consider using shoe trees for storage.
