Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Minor creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather. To minimize, store with shoe trees and avoid over-tightening laces.
Foam elements discolored
Direct sunlight can cause discoloration. Store away from light and clean gently with a damp cloth.
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to Nike's official sizing charts for accurate measurements. If purchased online, check the return policy for exchanges.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try inserting a powder insert under the insole or ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and smudges from the leather and foam surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.

- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed separately.
