FAQs
Is this sneaker suitable for running?
While it features Air technology, this model is designed for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-intensity athletic running.
How should I clean the mesh inserts?
Use a soft cloth dipped in a mild soapy water solution, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing to avoid fraying.
Does the size 14 fit true to size?
Yes, this model generally follows standard Nike sizing, though preferences vary based on foot width.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the adhesive integrity of the sneaker.
What does the Obsidian colorway refer to?
Obsidian is the specific deep blue colorway that debuted on the original 1986 model.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Use a specialized suede brush or eraser kit to gently lift stains without damaging the texture.
Creasing in the toe box
This is normal for suede and mesh footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Air unit appears cloudy
Gently wipe the exterior of the plastic housing with a damp cloth; do not use harsh solvents or alcohol.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a casual trainer, there is no technical setup required—simply ensure the UK 14 size matches your foot anatomy for the best fit. To maintain the integrity of the suede, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each wear. If the sneaker becomes wet, allow it to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material. We recommend using a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede to add a layer of protection against environmental debris.
