FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Nike Zoom 2K trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for serious running or high-impact athletic activities. For running, Nike recommends models specifically engineered for that purpose.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart available on the Nike website or in store. Generally, it's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. For the Zoom 2K, it's often advised to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, and the rubber sole provides grip. However, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather footwear and be aware that prolonged exposure to wetness can affect the leather and adhesives.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Nike typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Nike website or your proof of purchase for the specific warranty period and terms applicable to your region.
How often should I clean my trainers?
The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down after use can help maintain their appearance. A more thorough cleaning as described in the care instructions is recommended every few weeks or when visible dirt accumulates.
Will the black colour fade over time?
With proper care, the triple black colourway is designed to be durable. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh cleaning agents can lead to fading. Storing them away from sunlight will help preserve the colour.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. For initial wear, try wearing thinner socks. The leather may stretch slightly with wear, but significant tightness might indicate an incorrect size.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, particularly around the insole area. Check that the laces are not overtightened.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for black leather shoes. For scuffs, a matching black shoe polish can often help to cover them. Always test conditioners or polishes on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from mud or debris. If the slipperiness persists, especially on smooth surfaces, consider having traction-enhancing soles added by a cobbler for specialized use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. No assembly or setup is required.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, compatible with standard UK sizing. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and track pants.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mixture of water and baking soda can be applied with a brush.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
