Troubleshooting
Sizing feels inaccurate
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and compare with previous Nike purchases. Consider trying on in-store if possible, or consult reviews for insights into the specific fit of this model.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid overtightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Gentle cleaning and conditioning can help maintain the leather's suppleness.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
While the G-TEK outsole provides good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip. Use caution in adverse weather conditions.
Reflective elements appear faded
Ensure the surface is clean. Reflective elements work best when light hits them directly. If fading is due to wear, it is a normal process for reflective materials over time.

Care:
- Leather Uppers: Clean the pebbled leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.

- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
