FAQs

What makes this shoe suitable for skateboarding?

The Nike SB Air Max Ishod Wair features a durable suede and leather upper, a grippy gum outsole for board feel, and reinforced construction to withstand skating impacts.

How does the Air Max cushioning benefit the wearer?

The visible Air units in the midsole provide enhanced cushioning and shock absorption, reducing impact during landings and making the shoes comfortable for extended wear.

Is this shoe waterproof?

No, the shoe is not waterproof. It is made from suede, leather, and mesh, which are not inherently waterproof materials. It should be kept away from excessive moisture.

What is the significance of the University Blue insert?

The University Blue insert is a subtle design element on the gum outsole, adding a small pop of color to the otherwise monochrome shoe.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede, leather, and Air unit. Hand cleaning with appropriate products is advised.

Who is Ishod Wair?

Ishod Wair is an American professional skateboarder who collaborated with Nike SB on this shoe model, contributing to its design and features.

What is the primary aesthetic of this shoe?

The shoe features a minimalist, monochrome black design with minimal branding, giving it a clean and versatile look often favored in skate shoe culture.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. If still tight, consider a larger size if available, as sizing can vary.

Gum outsole is slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean. The gum material can be less effective on wet or extremely smooth surfaces. For skateboarding, ensure the deck grip tape is providing sufficient friction.

Suede appears worn or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid soaking the material.

Visible Air unit appears deflated

This is a visual aesthetic. The Air unit provides cushioning, and its appearance is part of the design. If cushioning is significantly reduced, contact customer support for potential warranty claims.
