FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The NMD_R1 is designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. While comfortable for walking, it lacks the specific support needed for high-intensity running.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for the finish.

Does the shoe fit true to size?

The sock-like fit is generally true to size, though individuals with wider feet may find a slightly snug feeling compared to traditional trainers.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotic inserts.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof and should not be submerged or worn in heavy downpours.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Utilize the rear pull loop to gain extra leverage while sliding your foot into the snug, sock-like collar.

Minor scuffs on the midsole bumpers

Gently clean the bumpers with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may yellow the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated monochromatic black and grey design
  • Durable leather construction
  • Comfortable sock-like fit for daily wear
  • Iconic, recognizable NMD design elements

Cons

  • Leather requires more care than mesh trainers
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh-based sneakers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are crafted from leather, they perform best when kept clean and dry. To maintain the material, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after exposure to dirt or salt. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds. To ensure proper fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate size, as the snug sock-like fit does not stretch as significantly as traditional fabric runners. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking over time.
