FAQs
Are Nike Daybreak sneakers suitable for running?
While inspired by a vintage running shoe, the Nike Daybreak is designed for casual everyday wear and style rather than performance running. For active running, we recommend modern running-specific footwear.
How do I clean the textile mesh upper?
Gently clean the textile mesh with a soft brush or cloth, using a mild soap diluted in lukewarm water. Avoid scrubbing too harshly and always allow to air dry.
What are the primary materials of this shoe?
The upper is crafted from breathable textile mesh with plush suede overlays, and it features a wedged foam midsole and an original Waffle rubber outsole.
Do Nike Daybreak shoes fit true to size?
Most wearers find the Nike Daybreak fits true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals, so consider your usual Nike sizing.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
The suede and mesh materials are not fully waterproof. While they can handle light dampness, heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture is not recommended and can potentially damage the materials.
What does the 'Waffle outsole' refer to?
The 'Waffle outsole' is a signature Nike sole design featuring raised lugs that provide excellent traction. It was originally invented by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman for enhanced grip on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted down.
Gently brush the suede in one direction with a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Remove insoles if possible and air out shoes and insoles separately. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning. Shoe deodorizers also work effectively.
Waffle outsole traction feels reduced.
Clean the Waffle outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or debris that might be impacting grip. Use a small brush or toothpick to get into the crevices of the tread pattern.

These sneakers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They pair exceptionally well with:

- Athleisure Wear: Complements track pants, joggers, and casual sweats.

Care
Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your Nike Daybreak sneakers:
- General Cleaning: For textile mesh and the Waffle outsole, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap (like diluted dish soap) and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Suede Overlays: Suede requires special attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid getting suede excessively wet, as it can stain or stiffen.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage materials.
- Odor Control: To prevent odors, air out your shoes after each wear. Consider using cedar shoe trees or a sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for sneakers with mixed materials to offer an extra layer of protection against elements and spills.
