FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the Nike SB Air Max Ishod Wair Black Gum?

The primary intended use is skateboarding, offering durability and board feel. They are also suitable for casual wear due to their comfort and style.

How do I clean the suede and leather upper?

Use a dry suede brush for dirt on suede. For leather, use a damp cloth. Specialized suede cleaners and erasers can be used for tougher stains. Avoid excessive water.

What is the benefit of the visible Air units?

The visible Air units provide enhanced cushioning and shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet and joints during skateboarding or walking.

Does this shoe have good grip?

Yes, the gum outsole is designed to provide excellent traction and grip on a skateboard deck, which is crucial for control and performance.

What does 'SB' in Nike SB stand for?

'SB' stands for 'Skateboarding'. Nike SB is the skateboarding division of Nike, dedicated to creating products for skateboarders.

Is this shoe suitable for beginners in skateboarding?

Yes, the combination of durability, comfort, and grip makes them a solid choice for skaters of all levels, including beginners.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the suede and leather.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking worn or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and a suede eraser for specific marks. For stubborn stains, consider a dedicated suede cleaner.

Reduced grip on skateboard

Ensure the gum outsole is clean and free from debris. If the outsole is excessively worn down, it may be time for replacement.

Discomfort during impact

Check if the Air units are functioning correctly. Ensure the shoe size is appropriate and consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning if needed.

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal wear for leather. Proper conditioning can help maintain flexibility and prevent deep creases. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can worsen creasing.
