How should I clean the white mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cool water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While the shoe offers cushioning, it is primarily designed for casual wear and style. For dedicated running, Nike recommends specialized running shoe models.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Discoloration on the white mesh
Clean immediately with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush. For tougher stains, consult specialized shoe cleaning products for mesh.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The Zoom Air unit provides consistent cushioning. If the overall feel degrades, it may indicate significant wear and tear, suggesting it's time for a new pair.
Web overlay feels restrictive
Ensure laces are properly adjusted to allow for flexibility. If the overlay is fundamentally uncomfortable for your foot shape, consider alternative Nike models.
