FAQs
What does 'Catechu' refer to in the shoe's name?
'Catechu' refers to an extract derived from acacia trees, which inspired the earthy color palette and natural design elements of this specific Nike Blazer Mid '77 colorway.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The Nike Blazer Mid '77 is a classic silhouette originally designed for basketball but is now primarily considered a lifestyle or casual fashion sneaker. While they offer support, they are not engineered for high-intensity athletic performance compared to modern specialized trainers.
What materials are used in the Nike Blazer Mid '77 Catechu (W)?
The upper is primarily constructed from leather and canvas, with tumbled leather used for overlays on the toe, heel, and side panels. The tongue and heel area feature earthy brown tones.
How do I clean the pink Swoosh and heel details?
For the pink accents, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Gently wipe the area to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could affect the color or material.
What is the main difference between this and the original Nike Blazer?
The Nike Blazer Mid '77 Catechu (W) is a specific colorway and iteration of the original Blazer silhouette. It maintains the classic mid-top design but features unique color accents, material combinations, and design details inspired by natural elements.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials and comfort.
What size should I get if I usually wear a US Women's size 8?
This guide refers to UK sizing. A UK 7 typically corresponds to a US Women's size 8.5. It is recommended to check Nike's official size conversion chart for the most accurate sizing.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between different parts of the shoe. Try loosening the laces slightly, or a light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe may help.
Discoloration of light-colored materials
Avoid contact with dark or wet fabrics that could transfer color. Clean any marks immediately with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaner for the material.
Laces becoming worn or frayed
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. This is a simple way to refresh the appearance of the shoes.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Cleaning the Canvas and Suede: For canvas areas, use a soft brush or cloth with a bit of mild soap and water. For any suede accents (if applicable in specific colorways), use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore texture.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and prevent creasing.
