Full details

FAQs
Are the Nike Air Kukini 'Water' trainers waterproof?
While they are inspired by a 'Water' theme, they are not waterproof. The mesh material is porous and will allow water to pass through.
Can I use these shoes for running?
The Air Kukini is classified as a lifestyle trainer. While comfortable, it lacks the technical support needed for long-distance running or high-intensity training.
What size should I purchase?
This specific variant is a UK 10.5. We recommend following standard Nike sizing for the Air Kukini series.
How do I clean the webbed overlay?
Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbers that might scuff the rubber material.
Is the webbed cage removable?
No, the webbed cage is a structural component of the Air Kukini and is permanently attached to the upper.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting foot into the shoe
The Kukini has a snug opening; ensure the heel tab is pulled fully back while sliding your foot in to prevent folding the inner lining.
Outer webbed cage feels loose
The webbing is designed for a specific tension profile. If it feels significantly loose, check for any debris lodged between the web and the mesh, and ensure the shoe fits your foot width correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Kukinis last, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive heat. As these are slip-ons, ensure you are wearing the correct UK size (10.5 for this model) to prevent the heel from slipping out during movement. For maintenance, gently wipe the mesh and rubber overlay with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the specialized webbing and adhesive components. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant blue pigments from fading.
