FAQs

What makes the Air Max Ishod Wair suitable for skateboarding?

It combines durable suede and leather for abrasion resistance, a grippy gum outsole for board control, and Air Max cushioning for impact protection during landings.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner with a damp cloth for stains. Avoid excessive water and machine washing.

Is the cushioning suitable for everyday wear as well as skating?

Yes, the Air Max cushioning provides comfort for both skateboarding impacts and general daily activities.

What is the main benefit of the monochrome design?

The monochrome aesthetic offers a clean, minimalist look that is versatile for both skate sessions and casual outfits, though it may require more frequent cleaning.

What kind of grip does the outsole provide?

The gum outsole is designed to offer excellent traction and board feel, which is crucial for stability and control during skateboarding.

What does 'SB' stand for in Nike SB?

SB stands for 'Skateboarding', indicating that this line of products is specifically designed and geared towards the needs of skateboarders.

Is this shoe good for beginners in skateboarding?

Yes, the combination of durability, cushioning, and grip makes it a solid choice for skaters of all levels, including beginners who benefit from added protection and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on the board

Clean the gum outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may be affecting traction.

Discomfort during landings

Ensure the laces are tied securely but not overly tight. The Air Max unit is designed for impact; if discomfort persists, check for proper fit and consider if the shoe's cushioning level meets your needs.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dry suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions.

Shoes feel stiff

Skate shoes, especially those with robust materials like suede and leather, often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase wear time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability for skateboarding thanks to suede and leather construction.
  • Comfortable cushioning from Air Max technology reduces impact.
  • Superior grip provided by the gum outsole.
  • Versatile monochrome design suitable for both skating and casual wear.
  • Minimal branding offers a clean, understated look.

Cons

  • Monochrome black suede and leather may show dirt and scuffs easily.
  • The flat heel might not be ideal for those who prefer a more substantial heel lift.
  • As a specialized skate shoe, it might feel stiffer initially compared to casual sneakers.
  • The visible Air units, while functional, add to the shoe's complexity.
  • Specific color insert (University Blue) is subtle and might not be a prominent design feature for all.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Nike SB Air Max Ishod Wair comes ready to wear. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets for a secure fit. Adjust the lacing to your comfort level before your first use.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, brushing gently. Avoid soaking the suede.
