FAQs
Are Nike Air Max Plus true to size?
Yes, most users find the Air Max Plus fits true to size, though the TPU cage can make the fit feel slightly more snug than standard trainers.
Can these be used for heavy running?
While originally a performance model in 1998, modern versions like this are intended primarily for lifestyle use and casual walking rather than distance running.
How do I clean the icy blue outsole?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a medium-soft brush to gently scrub the semi-transparent material.
What is the purpose of the TPU cage?
The cage is part of the iconic design aesthetic but also serves to provide structural stability and support to the mesh upper.
Are these sneakers unisex?
The model is listed in adult sizing and features a classic aesthetic suitable for anyone, though specific releases may be categorized by gender sizing conventions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain the shape of the mesh and prevent permanent creases.

Wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners on the plastic housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max Plus sneakers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Because of the TPU structure, the shoes may feel firm out of the box; wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush and a mild soap solution to clean the mesh. Avoid machine washing, as high-heat drying can compromise the Air cushioning seals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the mesh gradient from fading and the icy outsole from yellowing.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with tapered trousers or athletic joggers, which allow the unique silhouette and TPU cage detail to remain visible.
