FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, the NMD_R1 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer, not for high-performance athletic running.
Can I machine wash these leather trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash leather footwear, as water and detergent can damage the material and adhesives.
Does the size fit true to expectation?
The NMD_R1 generally fits true to size, but the sock-like collar provides a tighter compression feel than traditional tongue-and-lace shoes.
What is the purpose of the bumpers on the midsole?
The bumpers are a signature design element of the NMD series, providing both a distinct visual aesthetic and structural support.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather upper offers more protection than mesh, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding foot into the shoe
Utilize the pull loop at the back while guiding your heel into the sock-like opening to ease entry.
Leather looks dull after heavy wear
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore the original shine and protect the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the sock-like fit, ensure you select your correct size to avoid excessive tightness at the ankle. To keep your NMD_R1 trainers in top condition:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose surface dirt from the leather.
- Leather Care: Use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the upper material.
- Moisture: If the shoes become soaked, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or crack the leather.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if you wish to maintain the shape of the toe box over time.
