Nike Shoes

When you buy Nike shoes you can be sure you’re getting shoes from a company with a long history of producing shoes designed to keep athletes playing longer. No matter what sport you’re playing you can find a pair of Nike shoes that are suitable. Nike has invested heavily in developing shoes for most sports, they make men’s running shoes, women’s running shoes, trail running shoes and many other sports shoes.

Away from the track Nike has become an iconic fashion statement and is sought after by collectors all over the world. Nike started making running shoes in the USA in 1964, although it began as ‘Blue Ribbon Sports’ a take on the idea of coming in the first place and taking home the blue ribbon. It officially rebranded to Nike in 1971, the same year they developed their now famous ‘Swoosh’. The name Nike (pronounced Ni-key) was taken from the Greek goddess of victory. Nike has since grown to become one of the most well-known shoe brands.

While Nike shoes have a well-established brand and make exceptional shoes, they are not the only shoes you choose from. At Sportitude we also stock Brooks, Asics, Adidas, New Balance, Mizuno, and many others. Currently, Nike doesn’t make netball shoes, but you can use Nike tennis shoes as these offer similar levels of support. Nike also makes a huge range of sports clothing to support their customers, you can buy these through Sportitude and we’ll ship them together with your new shoes.

Do all Nike shoes fit the same?

While most Nike shoes fit the same, there can be minor differences from style to style. The best thing about Nike shoes is many people wear them and they are more than happy to share their experiences. If you’re not sure about a certain pair of Nike shoes and if the fit is the same as previous shoes, you can search them up on many of the Nike discussion forums and people will be more than happy to fill you in on the specific Nikes you are looking at. This will give you a clear picture about if the shoes have a similar feel to others.

When you buy your shoes from Sportitude you’ll be offered our 30-day returns policy, so if your shoes are not the right fit you can arrange to have them returned and exchanged for a different size. All you need to do is contact us to organise the return and send them back to us in an unworn condition and their original packaging. It can also be a good idea to have your feet measured professionally so you know your ideal shoe measurements.

We support all our customers in the case of a faulty product and will offer our assistance when required in communicating with the shoe manufacturer for your replacement or repairs.

How do you clean Nike shoes?

Cleaning Nike shoes is the best way to keep them in good condition and make them last longer. If your shoes have a leather upper you may need to use a protection agent and special cleaner to take care of them properly.

To clean your shoes, you’ll need a clean area to work in and a few tools. You’ll need a dry cloth, a soft brush, some newspaper, a bowl or lukewarm water and sensitive washing detergent, and some toothpicks. For the shoe laces you can either leave them in the shoes or remove them to be put through the washing machine or replaced.

For the cleaning process you can follow this guide:

1. Go over the shoes with the brush and knock off any heavy soil deposits.
2. Dip the brush in the water and go back over the shoes taking care of any ingrained dirt particles. You can use the toothpicks for fine lines in the sole and near the stitching. When brushing be careful not to go too hard as you can easily damage the upper.
3. Once you’re happy with the clean, wipe them down with the cloth.
4. Ball up some of the newspaper and place it inside the shoes. This will help keep their shape and aid in absorbing any excess moisture.
5. Set the shoes aside in a warm place. Don’t put them in direct sunlight as it can warp the soles and stain the uppers.

If you have a pair of vintage Nike shoes, we’d recommend having them professionally cleaned as doing it yourself may affect their value. Never put your shoes in the washing machine as this can destroy them.

Where to buy Nike shoes?

Nike shoes are one of the most popular shoes on the market and you can find them for sale in most retail stores. However, most retail stores are limited in the styles and range they can carry because they can only stock a certain number of shoes. At Sportitude we have a large warehouse filled with many different styles and sizes, you can easily find the shoes that best fit you by using the filtering function on our website. You won’t need to sift through a row of shoes and ask for a size only to find out they don’t have those in stock.

The other advantages of shopping online is that you can do it whenever you please and you’re not limited to certain opening hours. We’ll ship the shoes directly to you and you can receive them in as little as two days (some remote areas may take longer).
