FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Air Max cushioning provides great comfort, these are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual daily wear rather than dedicated running.

How do I determine if the size 12 fits?

The Nike Air Max Axis follows standard Nike adult sizing; ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and compromise the integrity of the adhesive and the Air Max unit.

Does the red color fade?

Like any dyed leather, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause minor fading; store them in a dark place to preserve the color.

What is the best way to protect the leather?

Applying a high-quality leather water-proofer spray can help repel moisture and light stains.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their shape and minimize deep crease formation.

Difficulty putting on the shoe due to stiffness

Loosen the laces fully from the bottom eyelets before inserting your foot, then tighten gradually for a customized fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max Axis trainers maintain their performance and look, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that could strip the red color.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant red leather from fading over time.
  4. Compatibility: These are standard fit trainers designed for general lifestyle use; avoid high-intensity athletic activities like heavy lifting or professional sports to maximize the lifespan of the cushioning unit.
