FAQs

What is the significance of the 'BW' in Air Max BW?

BW stands for 'Big Window,' referring to the larger visible Air unit introduced in this model compared to previous Air Max releases.

Who designed the Nike Air Max BW?

The Nike Air Max BW was designed by legendary Nike and Jordan designer Tinker Hatfield.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While it features Max Air cushioning, the Air Max BW 'Persian Violet' 2021 is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance running.

How do I clean the leather and Durabuck parts?

Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather. For Durabuck, use a suede brush or a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and consider the fit of previous Air Max models. Some users find Air Max models run slightly snug; consider sizing up half a size if between sizes.

Visible Air Unit appears deflated or damaged

The visible Air unit is designed for cushioning, not rigidity. Minor compression is normal. If significant deflation or damage is suspected, discontinue use and consult with the retailer or Nike support.

Discomfort during prolonged wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.

Color transfer from 'Persian Violet' accents

This is rare but can occur, especially when new or exposed to moisture. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or materials until the dye has fully set. Clean any transfer marks immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are versatile for pairing with various casual outfits. They are suitable for everyday use, including walking, light exercise, and social occasions.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike Air Max BW 'Persian Violet' 2021:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Materials: Pay attention to the different materials. Leather elements can be conditioned periodically. Mesh areas should be cleaned gently to avoid damage.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can damage the materials and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
