Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult Nike's official sizing guide and compare with your foot measurements. Consider the specific fit of the Air Max 97 model. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing or ensure return policies are favorable.

Color rubbing off

This can occur with new shoes or if exposed to excessive moisture or friction. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions. Consider using a protective spray suitable for leather and synthetic materials.

Creasing on the upper

Creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather and synthetic materials. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when storing and avoid overtightening laces. Focus on the durability and performance benefits rather than preventing all creasing.
