The primary upper material is tumbled leather, with canvas accents on areas like the tongue and potentially parts of the heel. The outsole is made of rubber.

While inspired by basketball heritage, these are primarily designed as lifestyle or fashion sneakers for everyday wear. They are not optimized for the demands of competitive basketball.

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild leather cleaner and follow up with a conditioner to keep the leather supple.

The name and design are inspired by catechu extract, a natural dye derived from acacia trees. This is reflected in the earthy brown tones on the tongue and heel, contrasted with pink accents on the Swoosh and upper heel.

Generally, Nike Blazer Mid '77 models are considered to fit true to size for most users. However, fit can be subjective; trying them on or referring to sizing charts is recommended.

The leather offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause damage or discomfort. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.

The mid-top collar typically extends just above the ankle bone, providing a balance between freedom of movement and support.

Wear with thinner socks initially or try using a shoe stretcher. The leather may stretch slightly over time with wear.

Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Clean gently with a damp cloth.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. For particularly smooth surfaces, consider a light scuffing of the sole or use of an appropriate traction spray if necessary.
