Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to Nike's official size chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying them on in-store if possible, or consult reviews for fit feedback. Ensure you are using the correct UK size conversion if applicable.

Leather shows creases or scuffs

Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather cleaner or conditioner. Avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear to minimize creasing.

Discoloration of the sole

The black and gold sole may show wear over time. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could remove the color.
