FAQs
What makes these sneakers 'Recycled Wool' if the upper is leather?
The 'Recycled Wool Pack' designation refers to the use of recycled materials throughout the shoe's construction. While the primary upper is synthetic leather made from recycled content, other elements like the tongue, Swooshes, sock liner, and outsole incorporate recycled wool, felt, and rubber.
Are the recycled materials as durable as traditional ones?
Yes, Nike utilizes advanced processes to ensure that recycled materials meet the brand's standards for durability and performance. The recycled synthetic leather and scrap rubber outsole are designed for everyday wear.
How should I clean the exposed foam tongue?
The exposed foam tongue can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a very soft brush can be used cautiously. Avoid soaking the foam.
Do these run true to size?
The Nike Blazer Mid '77 Vintage generally runs true to size for most wearers. However, personal fit can vary. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible.
What is the main benefit of the 'Recycled Wool Pack'?
The primary benefit is the reduced environmental impact due to the use of recycled materials in the shoe's construction, helping to lessen waste and conserve resources.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, these are primarily lifestyle sneakers. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to protect the materials and ensure comfort.
What other recycled materials are used besides leather and rubber?
The design also incorporates recycled felt for the Swooshes and sock liners made from recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Slight discoloration on white upper
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Ensure the laces are properly tied and try walking on different surfaces. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
