FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the NMD_R1 series is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use, not for running or intensive sports.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp, soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the leather.

Does the sock-like upper stretch over time?

Leather will naturally conform to your foot shape with regular wear, providing a personalized fit.

What is the sizing like for the NMD_R1?

The NMD_R1 typically runs true to size, but the snug sock-like fit may feel tighter than traditional trainers; consider your preference for fit when selecting your size.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather material and the structure of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting the shoe on

Utilize the functional pull loop on the heel to assist in sliding your foot into the sock-like collar.

Scuffs on the leather upper

Use a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaning sponge to gently buff out surface marks.

Midsole bumpers appearing dirty

Clean the NMD bumpers with a mixture of warm water and mild soap using a soft brush, then dry immediately with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature leather materials, it is important to avoid prolonged exposure to harsh water or mud. To maintain the finish, wipe the upper with a clean, damp cloth after wear and use a mild leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the black and grey color saturation. Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the sock-like construction offers a snug fit that does not provide excessive room for expansion.
