Nike Air Force 1 '07 WB - Black - UK 9.5

While the nubuck material offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a water and stain protector spray designed for nubuck to enhance their protection against the elements.

For the metal hex nut eyelets, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe them clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish. Dry them immediately to prevent water spots.

The Nike Air Force 1 '07 WB is designed primarily as a casual lifestyle sneaker. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities. For sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.

This specific variant is the '07 WB (Workboot) in black. The Air Force 1 line has many color variations, but the 'WB' features are unique to this specific style. Other color options for the Air Force 1 '07 may be available, but might not feature the same workwear details.

In this context, 'WB' likely stands for 'Workboot' or refers to the workwear-inspired design elements, such as the round laces and hex nut eyelets, that differentiate it from standard Air Force 1 '07 models.

The Nike Air cushioning in the Air Force 1 '07 is encapsulated within the midsole and is not visibly exposed. It provides internal comfort and shock absorption without an external air bubble display.

New nubuck/leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house or on short walks to allow the material to conform to your foot shape. The Nike Air cushioning will also soften with wear.

Use a specialized nubuck brush to restore the nap and remove light scuffs. For deeper marks, a nubuck eraser can be gently applied, followed by brushing. Consider re-applying a nubuck protector after cleaning.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or between the shoe and the walking surface. Try inserting some talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak persists, ensure the laces are tied securely.

The round, workwear-inspired laces might sometimes be prone to untying. Try a double knot for added security. You can also slightly roughen the lace surface with a gentle rub if they are too slick, or consider replacing them with laces specifically designed for better grip if the issue persists.
