FAQs

Are the Nike Air Max 97 suitable for running?

While the Air Max cushioning provides comfort, the Nike Air Max 97 is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle rather than high-impact running or sports. For dedicated running, consider shoes specifically engineered for that purpose.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

What does 'Air Max' refer to?

Air Max refers to Nike's proprietary cushioning technology that uses pressurized air in a durable, flexible urethane pouch, visible through a window in the midsole, providing lightweight cushioning and impact protection.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The materials, especially leather, offer some protection, but the shoes are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to preserve their condition and longevity.

How does the sizing run for these shoes?

Nike Air Max 97 generally fits true to size for most individuals. However, if you have wider feet, you might consider trying them on or looking for reviews regarding fit.

What is the main benefit of the Air Max cushioning?

The primary benefit is enhanced comfort and shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet and joints during walking and standing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoes. Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up if available.

Difficulty putting on shoes

Utilize the pull tabs on the tongue and heel. Loosen the laces significantly before sliding your foot in.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) under the insole or ensuring the insole is properly seated.

Dirt buildup on the Air unit

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated sneaker cleaner. Gently wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive materials.
