FAQs

What does 'Crepe Hemp' refer to?

'Crepe' refers to the type of natural rubber used for the outsole, known for its flexibility. 'Hemp' refers to the woven natural fiber material used in the upper construction.

What is the main color of this Nike Air Max 1 variant?

This specific variant is described within the 'Yellow' color family, characterized by a cream-colored hemp upper, brown suede mudguard, tan nubuck overlays, and mint green accents.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

No, the Nike Air Max 1 Crepe Hemp is designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-impact athletic activities.

How does the sizing run for this shoe?

As this is a specific UK size 8.5, it's recommended to check Nike's official size charts for conversion and consider trying them on if possible, as sizing can vary between models and brands.

Can I wash these sneakers?

It is not recommended to machine wash or fully submerge these sneakers in water, as it can damage the hemp, suede, and midsole materials. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.

What makes the crepe outsole different from a rubber outsole?

Crepe rubber is a natural material that is softer and more flexible than typical synthetic rubber compounds. It offers a unique feel and appearance but may wear down more quickly and is more susceptible to staining.

What year was this colorway originally released?

This colorway is a re-release of a classic design originally from 2004.

Troubleshooting

Crease marks on suede

Use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser gently on the affected area. For deeper creases, consider a suede brush.

Hemp material feels stiff

Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. The natural hemp fibers will soften with use.

Discoloration on the midsole

Clean the midsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Crepe outsole showing wear

Crepe naturally wears down over time. For minor scuffs, a damp cloth may suffice. Consider professional shoe repair for significant outsole damage.
