FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the Nike Air Skylon 2 fits true to standard Nike sizing. If you have wider feet, consider going up half a size.
Can I use these for running?
These are lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they do not provide the stability or energy return needed for modern performance running.
How do I keep the white fabric clean?
Use a protective sneaker spray before wearing them to repel water and dirt, and clean them immediately after they get soiled.
Is this a unisex shoe?
Yes, the Air Skylon 2 is designed for both men and women, though you should check specific size charts when ordering to ensure the correct UK/US fit.
What is the inspiration behind this shoe?
The shoe is a direct revival of the 1990 original, brought back to satisfy the growing demand for authentic vintage sneaker designs.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white sections
Use a soft brush or melamine sponge specifically for shoes to gently lift stains from the surface.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or utilizing the eyelet closest to the ankle to increase overall lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are heritage trainers, minimal setup is required beyond adjusting the laces for your preferred tension. When it comes to care, spot cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent is the best way to maintain the vibrant colors, especially on white sections. Avoid placing them in a washing machine, as the high heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the retro materials. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and rubber degradation.
