FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While the Caged Zoom Air unit provides responsive cushioning, these shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle, not high-performance running or intense sports. For dedicated athletic activities, we recommend shoes specifically designed for those purposes.
How do I determine the correct size?
These shoes are UK Size 12 for adult males. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. If purchasing online, consult a Nike size guide and measure your foot length for accuracy.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, mesh, and the shoe's overall structure. Please follow the care instructions for hand cleaning.
What is the 'Caged Zoom Air unit'?
The Caged Zoom Air unit is a specific type of Nike Air cushioning technology where an Air bag is encased within a structural cage. This design provides responsive, low-profile cushioning that offers a springy feel and helps absorb impact.
Are these shoes slip-resistant?
The outsole provides standard traction for urban surfaces. However, they are not specifically designed or certified as slip-resistant footwear, so caution should be exercised on wet or slick surfaces.
What does 'OG design lines' mean?
'OG design lines' refers to the original design aesthetics and features from when the shoe model (Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Cage 2) was first released in 2003, maintaining its retro and authentic look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to be less restrictive, especially over the instep. Allow for a break-in period as leather can soften with wear.
Shoes are developing an odour.
Ensure proper ventilation after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air them out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb moisture and odours. Always wear socks to absorb sweat.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture or friction between parts of the shoe or between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.
Scuff marks on the leather.
For light scuffs, use a damp cloth to gently rub the area. For deeper marks, a leather cleaner or a dab of matching leather polish can help conceal them. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Start with a loose fit, then gradually tighten from the toe upwards for a snug, comfortable fit without being too restrictive.
- First Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility:
- These shoes are designed for adult males and are available in UK Size 12. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
- They pair well with a variety of casual clothing, including jeans, joggers, and shorts.
Care:
- Cleaning the Mesh: For the mesh upper, gently wipe with a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the material.
- Cleaning the Leather: For leather sections, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain its look and prevent drying or cracking. Apply with a soft cloth and buff gently.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause material degradation.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Important Note: These shoes are not intended for use as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and should not be used in environments requiring such protection.
