Product Information
Full details
The Nike x CLOT Air Force 1 Royal Silk is designed for adult collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate high-end collaborations and unique material innovation in footwear. The primary benefit of this trainer is its premium, intricately woven silk upper that offers a distinct aesthetic compared to standard leather models. One notable caveat is that the delicate silk material requires careful handling and maintenance to preserve its texture and pattern over time.

FAQs
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended. The silk material can absorb water and may become permanently discolored or damaged by moisture.
Does the silk upper tear easily?
While the silk is durable for lifestyle use, it is more delicate than leather and can snag on sharp objects or rough surfaces.
How should I clean the outsole?
The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, but ensure no soap or water touches the silk upper during the process.
Is the sizing consistent with standard Nike shoes?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you own other Air Force 1 models, your standard size should be appropriate.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design is a collaboration with CLOT, inspired by the concepts of yin and yang, representing internalism and externalism.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or debris trapped in the woven silk pattern
Gently use a soft-bristled brush or a lint roller to lift particles out of the weave without agitating the fibers.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the upper maintain its shape and minimize deep-set wrinkles in the silk.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the internal structure matches traditional Nike Air Force 1 sizing. Since the upper is made of silk, maintenance is critical to longevity:
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Cleaning: Never use harsh brushes or chemical cleaners on the silk upper. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. For deep cleaning, seek a professional sneaker cleaning service that specializes in delicate materials.
- Usage: Use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the heel structure and avoid excessive friction against the silk panels.
