Product Information
Full details
The Nike React Leo SB trainers are designed for adult males who require a versatile footwear solution that bridges the gap between high-performance skateboarding and everyday casual wear. These sneakers provide the key benefit of advanced React cushioning technology, which offers superior impact absorption and all-day comfort. One caveat potential buyers should note is that as a specialized SB (Skateboarding) model, the fit is engineered specifically for board control, which may feel more secure or snug compared to standard lifestyle sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature comfortable React cushioning, these are optimized for skateboarding and casual wear, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and the React cushioning.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, most Nike SB models come with removable insoles, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary material used?
The upper consists of a mix of durable synthetic materials and textiles designed for abrasion resistance during skating.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of tightness in the midfoot area
Loosen the laces significantly before putting the shoe on, then tighten evenly starting from the toe box upwards.
Visible scuff marks on the white upper
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth dampened with a gentle shoe cleaner to spot-clean the affected areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike React Leo SB trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. Because of the padded interior, if you prefer a looser fit, consider trying on with your intended socks to ensure proper space.
- Break-in Period: You may experience a slight stiffness initially. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the React foam and upper materials to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: For the white portions, use a soft-bristled brush and a mild detergent solution. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the foam from warping.
