FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Nike Space Hippie 01?
The primary benefit is its high level of sustainability, being constructed from recycled materials with Nike's smallest carbon footprint to date.
How is the upper made?
The upper is knitted from Space Waste Yarn, which is polyester made from recycled plastic bottles and other salvaged materials.
Is the cushioning firm or soft?
The shoes feature Featherlight Crater Foam midsoles, which are designed to be lightweight and provide responsive cushioning, generally perceived as soft and comfortable.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable for walking and everyday use, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers and not optimized for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to Nike's official sizing charts for UK men's shoe sizes. The knit upper offers some flexibility, but ensure your heel is secure and there's adequate room in the toe box without slipping.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Nike Space Hippie 01. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What inspired the design of the Space Hippie 01?
The design is inspired by life on Mars and the concept of resource scarcity, aiming to create a sneaker with a minimal environmental impact using recycled and scrap materials.
What does 'smallest carbon footprint' mean for Nike?
It means that in the production process of these specific sneakers, Nike has taken measures to minimize the environmental impact, including emissions and resource consumption, more than in other comparable Nike shoe models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct UK size. The unique knit upper may feel different; try adjusting the lacing for a more personalized fit. If persistently uncomfortable, consider if the size is truly appropriate for your foot.
Slight discoloration or texture variation on the upper
This is a normal characteristic of the recycled Space Waste Yarn material. The variations contribute to the unique look of each shoe and do not indicate a defect.
Midsole feels stiff initially
The Crater Foam may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially, and they should become more flexible and comfortable over time.
Dirt or stains on the upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush and repeat the gentle cleaning process. Always air dry.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: To clean the Space Waste Yarn upper, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the recycled fibers.
- Cleaning the Midsole: The Crater Foam midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe away any excess soap residue.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can alter the shape and material integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and color.
- Washing Machine: It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, as the materials and construction are not designed for such a process.
