FAQs

What makes the Flyleather material special?

Flyleather is an innovative material that consists of at least 50% recycled leather fiber. It's produced using a more environmentally friendly process than traditional leather manufacturing, resulting in a durable and lightweight material.

Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?

While the Nike Blazer Mid 77 has a basketball heritage, this specific collaboration is designed primarily as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It offers comfort for everyday wear but may not provide the necessary support or performance for intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the printed artwork on the shoes?

To clean the artwork, use a soft, damp cloth and gently wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scrubbing, or soaking the shoes, as this can damage the printed illustrations.

What is the sizing like for these sneakers?

The Nike Blazer Mid 77 generally runs true to size. However, it is always recommended to check user reviews or consult Nike's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Where did the artwork design come from?

The unique illustrations on the shoe were created by Ruohan Wang, a visual artist based in Berlin, featuring themes of Earth, humanity, and nature.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While Flyleather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and artwork.

What does 'Flyleather' mean for durability?

Flyleather is designed to be durable and resilient, similar to traditional leather. However, the printed graphics may require more careful handling to ensure longevity.

Troubleshooting

Artwork appears to be fading or cracking.

This can happen with excessive wear or improper cleaning. Avoid harsh cleaners and direct sunlight. Gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Consider a protective spray designed for printed leather.

Soles are dirty and difficult to clean.

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently scrub the outsole. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

General discomfort during extended wear.

Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit. Consider using aftermarket insoles for added cushioning if needed, as the shoe is designed for casual rather than athletic performance.

Flyleather material feels stiff.

Flyleather will soften with wear. Breaking them in gradually by wearing them for short periods can help improve comfort over time.

Pros and Cons

  • Utilizes Flyleather, a more sustainable material option.

  • Limited edition collaboration adds collectible value.
  • Pairs well with casual and streetwear outfits.

Cons

  • Artwork may be delicate and require careful cleaning.

  • The unique design might not appeal to minimalist style preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. No setup is required beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness.

Compatibility: Designed as a lifestyle shoe, they are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel for men.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on the printed artwork.
  • Artwork Protection: To preserve the integrity of Ruohan Wang's illustrations, avoid excessive scrubbing on the graphic areas. Consider using a protectant spray specifically designed for leather and printed footwear, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Sole Cleaning: The purple outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
