FAQs

What does the 3-in-1 design mean?

It means the shoe can be worn in three distinct ways: as a standard lace-up sneaker, as a deconstructed sneaker, or as a slip-on style by utilizing detachable overlays and a drawstring closure.

How do I switch between the different styles?

To switch to slip-on, remove the laces and attach the specific overlay components, then secure with the drawstring. To revert to lace-up, remove the slip-on components and re-insert laces.

Are the detachable parts secure?

The design incorporates mechanisms to ensure secure attachment for both the lace-up and slip-on configurations, providing stability during wear.

What is the inspiration behind this shoe?

The design is a collaboration between Nike and CLOT, inspired by the iconic Nike Cortez and paying homage to the sneakers worn by the character Forrest Gump in the film of the same name.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the shoe comes with removable insoles that can be swapped out for your preferred insoles to enhance comfort.

What is the primary material of the shoe?

The upper of the shoe is primarily constructed from leather.

What colors are featured on this specific model?

This model features a white leather upper with red Swoosh logos on the lace-up version and blue Swoosh logos on the slip-on variation.

Troubleshooting

Components do not fit together properly.

Ensure all edges are aligned and that there are no obstructions. Check that you are using the correct detachable overlay for the desired configuration.

Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen.

Check that the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and that there are no knots or snags. Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris.

Leather shows scuffs or marks.

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather. For minor scuffs, a leather eraser may be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Drawstring on slip-on becomes loose.

Re-tie the knot securely. Ensure the drawstring is threaded through its channels correctly. If the drawstring material is worn, consider replacing it.

  • High-quality leather upper provides durability and a premium feel.
  • Adaptable fit options cater to different preferences.

  • The premium nature and collaborative design may result in a higher price point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves understanding the modular design. The shoe can be worn as a complete unit with laces, or components can be detached. To use the slip-on style, remove the lace system and attach the detachable overlay, securing it with the drawstring. Ensure all components are aligned correctly for optimal fit and appearance.

Compatibility: This model is compatible with standard sock wear. The removable insoles can be swapped out for custom orthotics if desired, provided they are of a similar size and shape.

Care: Clean the white leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather and finishes. For the textile elements and embroidery, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush if necessary. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and moisture.
