Clean the Air units with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Rinse gently and allow to air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they offer great cushioning for daily wear and light activities, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and may not provide the specific support needed for intense running.

What does 'FK' stand for in the product name?

FK typically stands for Flyknit, indicating the use of Nike's signature knit material in the shoe's construction.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit upon first wear

The Flyknit upper is designed to adapt to your foot. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Discoloration on the Air units

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure thorough rinsing and air drying.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

Ensure the Air units are not punctured and that there are no blockages within the sole. Regular cleaning can help maintain optimal performance.

Unusual noise when walking

Check for any debris trapped in the outsole grooves or between the Air units. Clean the sole thoroughly.

Designed for adult males, these trainers are versatile for various activities, from casual wear to light athletic pursuits. They pair well with a range of casual and athletic attire.

Care:

  • Upper: Gently wipe the Flyknit upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the knit.
  • Cushioning: Clean the semi-translucent Air units with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off.
