Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Nike Air Max 1 '87 features a classic lacing system. To set up your shoes for optimal comfort and support:
- Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces from top to bottom before putting on the shoes.
- Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated against the back.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, gradually pull the laces snug. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation. Aim for a secure but comfortable fit.
- Tie Knot: Finish with a standard bow knot.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for adult females and are highly versatile. They are compatible with a wide range of activities and outfits:
- Daily Wear: Perfect for everyday errands, commuting, and casual outings.
- Light Sports/Fitness: Suitable for walking, light gym workouts, and low-impact fitness activities.
- Casual Fashion: Their distinctive 'Velvet Brown' aesthetic makes them a great match for various casual and streetwear styles, including jeans, leggings, and casual dresses.
Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike Air Max 1 '87:
- General Cleaning: For the rubber sole and non-suede/velvet parts of the upper (leather, mesh, canvas), gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Velvet and Suede Mudguard: These materials require special attention:
- Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and restore the nap of the material. Brush in one direction.
- For tougher stains, use a specialized suede or velvet cleaner following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid water saturation on velvet and suede, as it can cause matting or staining.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Preventative Care: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for mixed materials, including suede and velvet, before first wear.
