How should I clean the layered midsole?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and a soft brush to gently clean the midsole sections. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

What is the retail origin of this shoe?

This shoe was originally released in September 2019 as a collaboration between sacai and Nike.

Can I wear these with different types of outfits?

What does 'sacai' refer to?

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.

  1. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust.
  2. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid excessive scrubbing, especially on suede areas.
  3. For the mesh and fabric parts, a specialized sneaker cleaner can be used sparingly.
  4. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash.
