These sneakers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not recommended for rigorous athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Refer to Nike's official size guide or reviews for specific fit information. Consider trying on in-store if possible, or allow a brief break-in period.

Denim fraying excessively

This is a design feature. If fraying becomes undesirable, minor trimming may be attempted cautiously, but it's recommended to embrace the intended aesthetic.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize deep creases, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.

Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but like all footwear, performance can be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
