FAQs
Are Nike Air Kukinis suitable for running?
No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers meant for casual daily use, not high-intensity athletic performance or running.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Air Kukini typically fits as expected, but because of the webbed overlay, some users prefer a slightly snug fit to ensure the webbing sits correctly against the foot.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended to hand wash only to prevent damage to the unique webbing and adhesive materials.
What is the primary material used for the overlay?
The overlay is constructed from durable TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), which provides both the signature look and structural reinforcement.
Are they waterproof?
The materials used are breathable and not waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure the collar area is fully expanded; the slip-on design relies on the elasticity of the opening, so pull gently from the heel tab.
Dust accumulation in the webbed design
Use a compressed air duster or a soft dry toothbrush to clear debris from underneath the TPU overlay webbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Kukinis maintain their shape and aesthetic, keep the following care instructions in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe or using harsh chemicals that could damage the TPU webbing.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the webbing materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the upper when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers are best paired with casual attire like tapered joggers or denim. They are not intended for high-intensity gym workouts or long-distance running.
