FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
The Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit 2.0 is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered for the rigorous demands of running or high-impact sports.
How does the Flyknit 2.0 differ from the original Air Force 1?
The Flyknit 2.0 version significantly reduces the weight of the shoe and enhances breathability through its knit upper construction, while the original AF1 typically features a heavier leather upper. It maintains the iconic silhouette but offers a lighter, more flexible feel.
Is the Flyknit material waterproof?
No, the Flyknit material is breathable and not designed to be waterproof. It offers minimal protection against heavy rain or puddles. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Nike shoes generally fit true to size. For this specific model, a UK 11 is provided. If you are unsure, it's often best to try them on or consult Nike's official sizing guide. Consider your usual Nike sizing.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the standard insoles in the Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit 2.0 are typically removable, allowing you to insert your custom orthotics for personalized support.
Will the white sole yellow over time?
Like most white rubber or foam soles, natural oxidation can cause some yellowing over extended periods, especially with exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help mitigate this, but it is a natural process.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight around the foot.
Adjust the lacing system for a more customized fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns or consider trying a thinner/thicker sock. Flyknit is designed to be adaptive, but extreme cases might indicate an incorrect size.
Squeaking sound coming from the sole while walking.
This can sometimes occur if moisture gets trapped between the insole and the midsole. Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and the inside of the shoes to air dry completely. If the squeaking persists, it could be a manufacturing variation that usually doesn't affect performance.
Flyknit upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cool water. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or abrasive brushes, which can damage the knit fabric. Air dry completely.
Reduced cushioning comfort over time.
While Nike Air technology is durable, heavy use can compact foam elements. Ensure proper care, and if cushioning significantly degrades, consider replacement insoles or new footwear if the shoes are very old.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Flyknit 2.0s:
- Cleaning the Flyknit Upper: Gently wipe dirt and stains using a soft cloth or brush dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, as these can damage the material. For tougher spots, a dedicated shoe cleaner for knit materials can be used.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap to clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole. Rinse with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can distort the material or damage adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent fading and material degradation.
- Avoid Overwashing: Frequent washing can wear down the material. Clean only when necessary.
