FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While it features Air-Sole technology, it is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than specialized long-distance running.

How should I clean the leather?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh detergents that could strip the color or damage the leather grain.

Are these true to size?

Yes, they follow standard Nike Air Max 1 sizing conventions, fitting true for most adult users.

What is the inspiration behind this design?

This model pays tribute to the late 70s Nike Sting running shoe, combined with modern Air Max construction.

Can the insoles be removed?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required.

Is the material waterproof?

The sneaker is made of leather and is not waterproof; avoid heavy rain or snow to protect the materials.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and minimize deep-set wrinkles.

Surface scuffs on leather

Use a leather conditioner matching the green tones or a neutral leather balm to buff out light abrasions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive 'Design By Japan' aesthetic provides a unique, limited-style look.
  • Responsive Air-Sole technology ensures reliable comfort for long periods of wear.
  • High-quality multi-layered leather upper improves long-term durability.
  • Classic Air Max 1 silhouette offers a timeless, versatile style.

Cons

  • Leather materials may require specialized cleaning products.
  • Earthy color palette may be less versatile for formal outfit pairings.
  • Specific limited release design may be harder to source if replacements are needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this sneaker uses premium leather, it is important to avoid submersion in water or excessive heat, which can crack or warp the material. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper stains on the leather, use a professional-grade leather cleaner suitable for colored surfaces. Ensure you store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the green and orange pigments from fading. For sizing, the UK 8 fits true to the standard Air Max 1 size profile; however, if you wear thicker socks, you may want to ensure you have sufficient room in the toe box.
