FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, most users find the Nike Air Kukini SE fits true to standard Nike sizing, though the unique cage design provides a snug feel.
Can I replace the web cage?
No, the TPU web cage is a permanent part of the shoe construction and is not designed to be removed or replaced.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The materials are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to keep the upper in good condition.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the materials and colors to fade over time.
Can I use these for running?
The Air Kukini is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. While comfortable, it does not provide the specific stability or support required for dedicated running.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber outsole is designed for street wear, but caution should be used on sensitive indoor gym floors as it is not explicitly labeled as non-marking.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Ensure you are using the integrated heel pull tab to widen the opening while sliding your foot into the shoe.
Feeling pressure from the web cage
Try wearing thinner socks to reduce bulk; the cage is designed to hug the foot, so even small changes in sock thickness affect the fit.
Surface dirt on the upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently lift surface debris without scrubbing aggressively at the paint patterns.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Air Kukini is straightforward: simply slide your foot in and adjust the heel pull tab to ensure the web cage sits flush against your midfoot. To maintain the appearance of the black and white paint splatter pattern, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the upper materials. Instead, spot clean with a soft cloth, mild detergent, and lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the integrity of the cushioning units and the TPU cage material.
