Troubleshooting
Uneven lacing
Carefully adjust and re-tie both sets of laces to ensure even pressure and a comfortable fit. Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris.
Suede discoloration
Use a suede eraser or a dry, soft brush to gently restore the nap. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Stains on mesh areas
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft brush. Apply cleaner to the brush, not directly to the shoe, and work gently in circular motions. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers. Ensure you tie the laces to your preferred tightness for a secure fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult men. The UK size 6.5 offers a specific fit, and checking the sizing chart is recommended if you are unfamiliar with Nike sizing.
Care: Due to the complex, layered design with multiple materials (mesh, suede, leather), cleaning requires careful attention.
- Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust.
- For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid excessive scrubbing, especially on suede areas.
- For the mesh and fabric parts, a specialized sneaker cleaner can be used sparingly.
