FAQs

Are the Nike Daybreak sneakers suitable for actual running?

While the Daybreak has a rich running heritage from 1979, modern versions like this one are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort for daily activities but are not optimized for high-performance running.

How should I clean the textile and suede parts of the shoe?

For the textile mesh, a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth can be used for spot cleaning. For the suede overlays, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and avoid saturating the suede with water.

What makes the Waffle outsole special?

The Waffle outsole is an iconic Nike innovation known for its excellent traction and durability. Its unique lug pattern provides grip on various surfaces and was originally developed for running performance, contributing to the shoe's classic aesthetic.

What materials are used in the upper of this Nike Daybreak?

The upper features a combination of breathable 'Flax' textile mesh and plush, hairy suede overlays in matching brown tones, offering both comfort and a premium, retro look.

Is this shoe true to size?

Nike Daybreak models generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.

Can I wear these in rainy or wet weather?

Due to the textile mesh and suede materials, these sneakers are not designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the materials. We recommend avoiding wet weather or applying a water-repellent spray designed for suede and textile.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty.

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dust and surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Shoes develop an odor.

Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear in a well-ventilated area. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays specifically designed for footwear. Ensure they are completely dry before storage to prevent odor-causing bacteria.

Reduced grip on smooth surfaces.

Check the Waffle outsole for any embedded debris or accumulated dirt. Clean the outsole using a stiff brush and water to remove obstructions and restore the original tread pattern for optimal traction. Ensure the outsole is dry before wearing.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the aesthetic and longevity of your Nike Daybreak sneakers:

  • Textile Mesh: For general cleaning, gently wipe the textile areas with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Suede Overlays: Suede requires specialized care. Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage suede.
  • Outsole: Wipe the rubber Waffle outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn grime, a stiff brush can be used.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation and odors. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Water Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for textile and suede materials to offer an extra layer of protection against moisture and spills.
