Preserving the Perfect FitAnyone who has scuffed their brand new sneakers can attest to the difficulty of keeping shoes in good condition. One of the best ways that Cooper Hewitt’s conservation department can ensure the preservation of the collection is through proper storage. Take for instance the recently acquired pair of Nike FlyKnit Racer shoes. While the sneakers are new, it is our responsibility to create storage that will support and protect in order to best slow deterioration and preserve their current state. nike, Flyknit Racer, running shoe, knitting, conservation, storage, textile |

The Flyknit Racer is the first pair of Nike shoes to enter the collection and was chosen for its innovative use of textiles as both structure and support.
