FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Flyknit upper is breathable and water-resistant to a degree, but not fully waterproof. They are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the main benefit of the Crater foam?

The Crater foam provides lightweight cushioning and a distinctive, modern aesthetic, contributing to the shoe's comfort and eco-friendly design.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Nike sizing chart for UK shoe sizes. These trainers are designed for a snug fit due to the Flyknit upper, but should not feel overly restrictive.

Are these suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they lack the specific support and features required for serious running.

How does the Flyknit material differ from leather?

Flyknit is a woven polyester yarn that offers a lighter, more breathable, and flexible fit compared to traditional leather, which tends to be more rigid and less breathable.

What does 'Crater' refer to in the midsole?

'Crater' refers to the Nike Grind rubber particles incorporated into the foam, giving the midsole its unique speckled appearance and contributing to its recycled content.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

The Flyknit material will stretch slightly with wear. If they feel uncomfortably tight initially, try wearing them with thinner socks. Ensure you have the correct size by checking the UK sizing guide.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the waffle pattern on the outsole with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.

Discoloration on midsole

The Crater foam's speckled appearance is part of its design. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth. Significant discoloration may be permanent due to the material's nature.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sustainable construction using recycled materials.
  • Breathable Flyknit upper for enhanced comfort.
  • Lightweight feel due to Crater foam midsole.
  • Durable rubber outsole with excellent traction.
  • Modern interpretation of a timeless sneaker design.

Cons

  • Flyknit material may not offer the same structure as traditional leather for some users.
  • The textured appearance of the Crater foam might not appeal to everyone.
  • Specific colorways (like Gym Red accents) may be limited.
  • Durability may vary compared to older, more robust Air Force 1 models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the Flyknit upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive soaking.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the Crater foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks on the outsole, a mild soap solution can be used.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
