NIKE sneakers are specially designed according to the characteristics, occasions and targets of different sports, such as: running shoes, basketball shoes, tennis shoes, soccer shoes, outdoor sneakers. The appropriate shoes should be selected for different sports.
Trying on the shoes
There will be differences in the shape and size of each person's left foot and right foot. When buying shoes, be sure to try the shoes on both feet, to ensure that you choose the shoes with the right fit. Please note that wearing unsuitable shoes for prolonged period of time can cause deformation or injury to the feet, as well as damages to the ankles, knees, or other body parts.
While in use
Shoelace and heel
Be sure to tie your shoelace or fasten the touch fastener (except those for decorative purposes) when putting on the shoes, to a tightness that suits you, ensuring that your feet and body are adequately protected during exercise. When taking off the shoes, make sure to first loosen the shoelace or Velcro before taking off the shoes, to avoid the structural integrity of the heel from being deformed by pressure. The heel of the sneakers provides the important functions of fixation, coverage and support. Please do not step on the heels as if wearing slippers, to avoid deforming or damaging the heels, resulting in foot injuries.
Air cushioning
Air cushioning is manufactured by using a special process and technology to inject a specific gas into polymer materials, giving the shoes lightweight, good and long-lasting cushioning performance. Because of its special materials and structure, when wearing sneakers with air cushioning, do not make contact with materials such as acids, alkalis, oils, chemicals, or mediums that are hard, of high-temperature, high-heat, high-pressure, and so on, so as to avoid leakage and depressions of the air cushioning, thereby impacting the usage of the shoes. Note: the above precautions also apply to other footwear.
Anti-skid
Since the sole material, structure, pattern, hardness, etc. of different types of sneakers will be varied, sole slippage may occur on slippery floors that are wet, have oil, detergent, or are covered with tile and marble, and other smooth ground conditions, or other weather conditions such as rain, snow, moisture, and cold. Please take caution when wearing the shoes and avoid slippage.
After use
Cleaning
If there are stains on the shoes, wipe them with a soft cloth dampened with water, and place them in a dry, well-ventilated place to dry. Do not use washing machines, detergents, and so on. Also, do not use any shoe polish. Please do not expose the shoes to direct sunlight, or dry them using a heater, hair dryer, etc., so as not to cause the shoe uppers to harden, deform, crack, or separation of the sole.
Storage
Regardless of whether the shoes are new or old, their materials will naturally age and decompose with time, resulting in stripping of the sole, peeling of the surface, and yellowing. If you need to store the shoes for a prolonged period of time, please be sure to clean the shoes, and then store them in a dry environment at room temperature, with regular ventilation and drying.
Replacement
Sneakers are footwear with specific uses. Try to avoid wearing the same pair of shoes for a prolonged period of time in order to keep them in good conditions and maintain their specific performance, thereby extending their useful life. In addition, it is recommended that shoes should be replaced based on the wear and tear of the shoes.
