FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While they feature Zoom Air cushioning, the Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Cage 2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, not for specialized running performance or intense athletic training. For serious running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

Nike generally runs true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual sneaker size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both options or consult a sizing chart. This specific variant is UK Size 9.5.

Can I wear these in the rain or wet conditions?

The mesh upper offers breathability but does not provide significant water resistance. While light drizzle might be fine, it's best to avoid heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the materials and your comfort.

What is 'Zoom Air Cushioning'?

Zoom Air cushioning uses pressurized air units and tightly stretched fibers to absorb impact and then snap back for fast, responsive energy return. In these sneakers, it's 'caged-in' for added stability and durability.

What is a 'Phylite Midsole'?

Phylite is a lightweight foam compound often used in Nike midsoles. It's a blend of Phylon (EVA foam) and rubber, offering a good balance of cushioning, flexibility, and durability while keeping the shoe's weight down.

How often should I clean my sneakers?

Cleaning frequency depends on your usage. For regular wear, a quick wipe-down weekly can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be done as needed when visible dirt or stains appear.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Like most footwear, these sneakers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Squeaking sound coming from the sole.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes as the outsole breaks in, or if moisture gets between layers. Try wearing them on different surfaces. If the issue persists, ensure no debris is lodged in the sole.

Stains or dirt on the mesh upper.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush or cloth, using a small amount of mild soap mixed with water. Blot gently and avoid aggressive scrubbing to prevent damage to the mesh. Air dry completely.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Spiridon Cage 2 sneakers:

  1. Cleaning the Mesh and Synthetics: Gently wipe dirty areas with a soft cloth or brush dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.
  2. Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like hair dryers or place them in direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
  4. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the cushioning and adhesive.
  5. Spot Clean Immediately: For best results, address stains and dirt as soon as possible.
