FAQs
What makes the Stüssy x Nike Air Huarache Desert Oak special?
This shoe is a reissue of the very first collaboration between Stüssy and Nike, originally released in 2000. It pioneered the trend of sportswear brand and retailer partnerships and is highly regarded for its design and historical significance.
What materials are used in the Nike Air Huarache Stüssy Desert Oak?
The shoe features a premium mesh and nylon-based upper, complemented by Desert Oak nubuck overlays and an olive rubber heel cage. The sole is made of cream foam with encapsulated Nike Air cushioning.
How do I clean the Desert Oak colorway?
Clean the textile and mesh with mild soap and water. Use a specialized nubuck cleaner and brush for the overlays, and a damp cloth for the rubber parts. Allow to air dry.
Is the fit true to size?
The Huarache is known for its snug, sock-like fit due to the elasticated heel strap. It is generally recommended to order your true size, but consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or have wider feet.
What is the original release date of this collaboration?
The original Stüssy x Nike Air Huarache collaboration was first released in 2000. This specific 'Desert Oak' reissue was released in February 2021.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the shoe has some durable components, the nubuck and textile upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.
What does the red circular badge on the tongue represent?
The red circular badge on the tongue is a signature design element of this collaboration, often associated with the early Stüssy x Nike projects.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or snug
The elastic heel strap is designed for a snug fit. Wear the shoes for a short period to allow them to naturally mold to your foot. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate.
Discoloration on nubuck areas
Nubuck is susceptible to stains. Immediately blot any spills with a dry cloth. Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and eraser for spot cleaning. Avoid exposing to excessive moisture.
Squeaking sound from sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or newness. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Rubber heel cage shows scuffs
Light scuffs on the rubber cage can often be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, a rubber cleaner might be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
