FAQs

What does 'SE' stand for in Nike Air Max 97 SE?

'SE' stands for Special Edition, indicating that these trainers feature unique design elements, materials, or colorways compared to the standard model.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the Nike sizing chart available online. Generally, measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it to the chart provided for UK sizing. Given these are trainers, a snug but comfortable fit is recommended.

Is the full-length visible Air unit durable?

Yes, the full-length visible Air unit is designed for durability and provides cushioning for everyday wear. However, avoid sharp objects or excessive pressure that could puncture the unit.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the design is inspired by water, the trainers are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended to maintain the materials and sole integrity.

What is the primary inspiration for the Nike Air Max 97 SE Pure Platinum Sail?

The primary inspiration is the visual aesthetic of water, reflected in the shoe's undulating design lines and the segmented full-length Air unit that resembles water with a reflection.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning and traction, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact athletic activities.

What is the color description of the Pure Platinum Sail variant?

The 'Pure Platinum Sail' colorway features a primary pale gray textile upper, tumbled pale gray leather accents, with cream-colored laces and midsole, accented by shades of white and icy gray-blue on the wavy stripes.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather panels

Minor creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Use shoe trees if storing for extended periods.

Laces becoming dirty quickly

Spot clean laces with a mild soap and water solution. For a deeper clean, remove laces and wash by hand or in a garment bag on a gentle cycle.

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help absorb excess moisture.

Discoloration on lighter sections

Avoid contact with dark denim or colored fabrics that may transfer dye. Clean affected areas immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap.
