FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for long-distance walking?

These trainers are primarily designed for skateboarding. While they can be worn casually, the reduced foam midsole is tuned for board feel rather than extended walking comfort.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean. Do not submerge the shoes in water.

Does the shoe provide high impact protection?

The model features reduced foam for better board feel, which means it offers less impact absorption compared to lifestyle Air Max models.

Can I use these for other sports?

They are specifically optimized for skateboarding; the traction pattern and material reinforcements are designed for the unique movements of skating.

How should I store them when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading and material degradation.

Troubleshooting

Excessive scuffing on the side panels

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or shoe cream to the affected area to maintain material flexibility.

Loss of traction on the outsole

Clean the soles with a soft brush and warm water to remove accumulated dust and debris that can impede grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior tactile board feel for technical precision
  • Highly durable construction with double-stitch reinforcement
  • Iconic aesthetic combined with functional skate performance
  • Enhanced traction via specialized lug updates

Cons

  • Reduced foam cushioning compared to standard lifestyle versions
  • Leather material may require a short break-in period
  • Fit is specialized for skate performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, ensure the laces are tightened to provide a secure lockdown across the midfoot. Because the upper is constructed from leather, it is recommended to apply a leather-safe water repellent spray before your first session in damp conditions. To clean, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the leather, as this can cause it to stiffen upon drying. If the shoes become wet inside, air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking or warping.
