FAQs
What is Flyknit construction?
Flyknit is Nike's proprietary knitting technology that creates a lightweight, form-fitting, and virtually seamless upper. It's designed to provide targeted areas of support, flexibility, and breathability all in one piece, reducing material waste and overall shoe weight.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While comfortable and cushioned, the Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit 2.0 is primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and light daily activities. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes with more focused support and cushioning for high-impact activities would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the Flyknit material?
To clean the Flyknit, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap solution and lukewarm water to gently spot clean. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the material and construction. Always air dry.
What makes these Air Force 1s so lightweight?
The primary reasons for their lightness are the Flyknit upper, which replaces heavier traditional materials like leather, and the innovative foam midsole that is durable enough to also serve as the outsole, eliminating the weight of a separate rubber sole.
Is the sizing true to size?
Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit models generally run true to size, but the Flyknit can offer a snug, sock-like fit. If you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider trying half a size up. For this specific UK 15 size, it's crucial to confirm against Nike's sizing chart if possible.
What is Nike Air technology?
Nike Air technology uses pressurized air inside a durable, flexible membrane to provide lightweight cushioning. When you land, the Air unit compresses to reduce the force of impact, then immediately springs back to its original shape, providing a bouncy, responsive feel.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The Flyknit material is breathable but not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to your feet getting wet. Info needed: Applying a water-repellent spray designed for knitted shoes can offer some additional protection.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel too warm or sweaty.
While Flyknit is breathable, wearing moisture-wicking socks can further enhance comfort. Ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow.
The Flyknit upper looks dirty or stained.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush or cloth, a small amount of mild soap, and lukewarm water. Blot dry with a clean towel and allow to air dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or machine washing.
The foam midsole/outsole is showing scuffs or dirt.
Wipe the foam with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. For deeper scuffs, a magic eraser or a similar gentle abrasive sponge can be used carefully to restore the clean appearance.
The shoes feel too snug.
Due to the adaptive nature of Flyknit, a snug fit is normal. Ensure you have the correct size. If it's a new pair, allow a short break-in period for the material to mold further to your foot. You can also try loosening the laces slightly.
There's an unusual squeaking sound while walking.
Check if the insoles are properly seated or if they are damp. Sometimes, removing, cleaning, and replacing the insoles (or adding a thin layer of baby powder underneath them) can resolve squeaking issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit 2.0 is straightforward:
- Unboxing: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tightness. The Flyknit material is designed to be snug, so avoid overtightening.
- Wear: Simply put them on and enjoy the comfort and lightness.
No complex setup or calibration is required.
Compatibility
- Apparel: These trainers pair seamlessly with a wide range of casual and athletic clothing, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and tracksuits. The black colorway offers exceptional versatility.
- Activities: Ideal for everyday wear, casual outings, walking, light gym activities, and travel. Not recommended for high-impact sports or rough terrain due to the Flyknit upper and foam outsole.
- Insoles: The standard insoles provide good comfort, but they are generally compatible with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if additional arch support or cushioning is desired.
Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Flyknit 2.0 trainers:
- Cleaning the Flyknit Upper: Gently spot clean the Flyknit material with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted laundry detergent). Work in small circles, then wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the material.
- Cleaning the Foam Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean dirt and scuffs from the foam. The durable foam can be wiped down easily.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Keep them away from excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not submerge the entire shoe in water, especially due to the Flyknit material and internal components.
- Info needed: Water repellent spray: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for knitted materials to offer additional protection.
