FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Air Max 97 SE design?
The design of the Nike Air Max 97 SE is inspired by water, specifically the way water ripples and flows. This is reflected in the undulating lines and the visual effect of the full-length visible Air unit.
How do I clean the unique materials on this shoe?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the textile and leather upper. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For the Air unit, a gentle wipe is usually sufficient. Allow to air dry naturally.
Is the full-length Air unit durable?
Yes, the full-length visible Air unit is designed for durability and consistent cushioning. However, like any technology, it can be susceptible to damage from sharp objects or extreme pressure.
What does 'SE' stand for in Nike Air Max 97 SE?
SE typically stands for 'Special Edition', indicating that this version of the Air Max 97 features unique colorways, materials, or design elements that differentiate it from the standard model.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the Air Max 97 offers excellent cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle or 'casual' trainer. For dedicated running, specialized Nike running shoes with specific performance features are recommended.
What is the retail price of the Nike Air Max 97 SE Pure Platinum Sail?
The Nike Air Max 97 SE Pure Platinum Sail was released with a retail price of $185 USD.
How does the fit typically run for the Air Max 97?

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off (too tight/loose)
Ensure you've tried them on with the type of socks you typically wear. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size up or down, or consult Nike's official size chart for precise measurements.
Visible Air unit appears to be deflated
The Air unit is designed for cushioning, not maximum inflation. If you suspect a leak (audible hiss or noticeable lack of cushioning), contact Nike customer support for warranty evaluation.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is normal for leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specialized shoe cleaner. Avoid excessive bending of the shoe during wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with most casual and athletic attire. While primarily designed for men's sizing (UK 13 in this instance), their unisex aesthetic can suit various individuals. They pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, and athletic wear.
Care:
To maintain the pristine condition of your Air Max 97 SE trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the textile and leather components. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand-wash them separately with mild soap and water.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains on the rubber outsole, a soft brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box to protect from dust and damage.
