Product Information

Full details

The Nike SB Air Max Ishod Wair trainers are designed for adult male skaters seeking durability and comfort with a nod to '90s basketball shoe aesthetics. The key benefit is their blend of skate-ready resilience with responsive cushioning, offering an easy break-in period. A potential caveat is that the design, while inspired by basketball shoes, is optimized for skateboarding, which might influence casual wear preferences for some.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for beginners?

Yes, the easy break-in cupsole and good grip make them suitable for beginner skaters. The durability also means they can withstand early learning mistakes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart for UK shoe sizes. Ensure there is a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose, allowing for foot movement during skating.

Can the Max Air unit be replaced?

The Max Air unit is integrated into the midsole and is not designed to be user-replaceable. Its performance is integral to the shoe's cushioning.

What is the difference between SB Air Max Ishod and other SB models?

The SB Air Max Ishod specifically incorporates Max Air technology and draws inspiration from '90s basketball shoe designs, offering a unique blend of cushioning and style compared to more minimalist SB models.

How long should these trainers last for regular skating?

Durability varies based on skating intensity and style. However, the robust construction is intended to provide extended wear for dedicated skaters.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for dry weather conditions and skateboarding activities. Avoid heavy exposure to water.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff on first wear.

This is normal for a new pair of trainers. Wear them for short periods to allow the materials to mold to your feet and the cupsole to flex.

Traction feels inconsistent.

Ensure the herringbone outsole is clean and free from debris, dirt, or wax, which can impair grip.

Visible Air unit appears scuffed.

Minor scuffs are common with skating use. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Deep damage may affect cushioning performance.

Laces are difficult to keep tied.

Consider double-knotting the laces or replacing them with a more robust, textured lace designed for sports footwear.

  • Stylish design with '90s basketball shoe influence.

Cons

  • May require a slight break-in period despite design intention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box, though a short break-in period is recommended for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for skateboarding, they are compatible with most skateboards. For casual wear, they pair well with standard streetwear attire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather and mesh surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and material integrity.
