FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Air Max 96 II Goldenrod (2021) is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for comfort and style during everyday activities. While it features Nike Air cushioning, it is not engineered as a specialized running shoe.

What is the 'Goldenrod' colorway?

The 'Goldenrod' refers to a specific color accent used in this iteration of the Air Max 96 II, contributing to its distinctive look alongside white and midnight navy.

How do I clean the translucent rubber parts of the outsole?

Use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch or cloud the translucent material.

Does the shoe contain genuinely recycled materials?

Yes, the description indicates that recycled materials have been incorporated into the construction of the upper and outsole.

What does DWR technology mean for the upper?

DWR stands for 'Durable Water-Repellent'. This treatment on the upper helps to shed light moisture, keeping your feet drier in damp conditions.

How does this shoe compare to the original Air Max 96?

The Air Max 96 II Goldenrod (2021) is a retro release inspired by the original Air Max 96 series and shares design elements with the Air Max 95. Specific performance and material updates may exist between original releases and modern retros.

What sizes are available for this shoe?

This guide specifically mentions a UK 8, but the Nike Air Max 96 II is available in a range of adult men's sizes. Please check product listings for specific size availability.

Troubleshooting

Slight creasing on leather upper

This is normal for leather products and often reduces with wear. Ensure proper storage to minimize excessive creasing.

Reduced water repellency

The DWR treatment is not permanent. Consider applying a fabric protector spray designed for athletic footwear to restore some water resistance.

Uneven wear on outsole

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Uneven wear can also be caused by walking gait; rotate footwear if possible for maximum lifespan.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dirt. For leather and synthetic parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth or brush to clean the rubber components.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  4. Water-Repellency: The DWR treatment may wear off over time. Specialized fabric protectors can be reapplied, following product instructions, to help maintain water resistance.
