FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for light athletic activities and casual wear. For long-distance or professional marathon running, consider a dedicated technical running model.
How do I clean the neoprene upper?
Gently wipe the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive brushes, which can damage the material fibers.
Does the plastic cage stretch over time?
The cage is designed to maintain its structure. It should not be expected to stretch significantly; ensure you select the correct size from the start.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The quick-drying fabric is helpful if they get splashed, but they are not fully waterproof.
Is the sole non-slip?
The rubber outsole offers good traction on standard surfaces, though caution should always be used on wet or oily floors.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight around the midfoot
The plastic cage is designed for support, but if it feels restrictive, ensure your socks are thin and the material is evenly distributed across the foot before securing the fit.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Use the finger loop at the heel to gently stretch the collar, allowing your foot to slide into the neoprene sleeve without forcing the cage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Nike Air Kukini utilizes a slip-on approach, meaning there are no laces to manage. To ensure longevity: 1. Avoid submerging the shoes in harsh chemicals. 2. Clean the rubber outsole regularly with a soft brush and mild soap to maintain traction. 3. Air dry the neoprene material away from direct heat sources to preserve its elasticity. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from losing its shape.
