Product Information

Full details

The Nike SB Air Max Ishod Wair 'Black Gum' is designed for skateboarders and sneaker enthusiasts seeking a blend of skate durability and Air Max comfort. Its key benefit is a versatile, monochrome aesthetic that offers both style and performance. A potential caveat is the specific focus on skate shoe features, which might differ from traditional running or lifestyle sneakers. This shoe combines rugged suede and leather with visible Air units for enhanced cushioning, and features a classic lacing closure with a round toe and flat heel.

This shoe is primarily designed for skateboarding, offering durability, impact protection, and board feel. It also serves as a comfortable and stylish casual sneaker.

How does the Air Max cushioning benefit the user?

What does 'monochrome aesthetic' mean for this shoe?

Is this shoe suitable for professional skateboarding competitions?

Yes, designed with input from pro skater Ishod Wair and featuring skate-specific elements, it is suitable for competitive skateboarding.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush to clean the suede. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously.

'Black Gum' refers to the colorway of the shoe, featuring a black upper and midsole combined with a gum-colored outsole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.

Suede material looks dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Visible Air unit appears deflated

The Air unit is designed for cushioning, not inflation. If you suspect a leak or significant loss of cushioning, contact customer support.

Poor grip on the outsole

Ensure the Gum outsole is clean and free of dirt, oil, or debris. Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure they fit comfortably before use. The lacing system can be adjusted for a personalized fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For suede, use a suede brush or eraser. For leather and mesh, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
