Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes occur due to air trapped in the sole. Try flexing the shoe gently. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If persistent, it might be a manufacturing anomaly.

Discomfort during initial wear

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thicker or thinner socks as needed.

Color transfer from accents

In rare cases, the 'Persian Violet' dye might transfer to lighter socks, especially when new and wet. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and wear with darker socks initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

As footwear, the Nike Air Max BW 'Persian Violet' 2021 requires no electronic setup or technical compatibility. Its primary function is comfort and style.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the leather and mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. For suede or Durabuck areas, use a suede brush.
  • Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  • Midsole and Air Unit: Wipe the midsole and visible Air Unit with a damp cloth. Be cautious not to saturate the shoe.
  • Drying: Air dry the sneakers away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
