FAQs

What makes the 'Orange Label' series special?

The Orange Label series typically signifies premium materials and a focus on skate shop exclusive releases, often featuring unique colorways or enhanced construction details.

Is this shoe suitable for beginners in skateboarding?

While durable, the Blazer Mid SB offers a more direct board feel, which some beginners might find takes getting used to. However, its supportive features are beneficial.

How does the mid-top design benefit skateboarding?

The mid-top design offers increased ankle support and protection, which can be crucial for preventing rolls and absorbing impacts during skating.

What is the best way to clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a conditioner.

Does the cushioning provide enough support for heavy impacts?

The Zoom Air unit offers responsive cushioning suitable for most skateboarding impacts. For very heavy impacts or specific needs, additional insoles might be considered.

What size is this guide referring to?

This specific guide refers to the Nike Blazer Mid SB 'Orange Label Black White' in a UK Men's size 5.5.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a few hours to allow them to stretch slightly. If still tight, consider a different size or style with more give.

Traction is reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be hindering grip.

Leather scuffs easily

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider a leather conditioner or polish in a matching color. Protective sprays can help prevent future marks.

Laces fraying

Replace with durable flat laces, commonly used for skate shoes, to prevent fraying and ensure a secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction for skate performance.
  • Good board feel and ground contact.
  • Classic and versatile design.
  • Comfortable cushioning for impact absorption.
  • Enhanced ankle support from the mid-top silhouette.

Cons

  • May lack the extensive padding of bulkier skate shoes.
  • Leather may require some break-in time.
  • Limited colorway options compared to broader Nike lines.
  • Best suited for intermediate to advanced skaters who prefer a more minimalist shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility:

Designed primarily for skateboarding, they are compatible with various skateboards and grip tapes. They are suitable for adult users.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the leather.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
