FAQs

What is the primary material of the 'Velvet Brown' Air Max 1 '87?

The 'Velvet Brown' Air Max 1 '87 features a blend of premium materials, including a dark brown suede mudguard, tan leather overlays, and a breathable white mesh base. The 'Velvet' in the name refers to the luxurious feel and appearance these materials provide.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense workouts?

While the visible AIR unit provides comfort and cushioning, these shoes are designed for casual wear and light activities, not intense running or high-impact workouts. For dedicated athletic performance, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the speckled midsole?

To clean the speckled foam midsole, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a solution of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the midsole, paying attention to the speckled areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

Is the sizing true to size for women's UK sizes?

Nike Air Max 1 models generally run true to size. This specific pair is a Women's UK 5. We recommend trying them on or consulting Nike's official sizing chart if you are unsure.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

Due to the suede and mesh components, these shoes are not ideal for heavy rain. While light moisture might be tolerated, prolonged exposure to water can damage the materials. Applying a water-resistant protective spray designed for suede and leather can offer some protection.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to complement the shoe's aesthetic, seamless athletic socks or casual cotton socks work well. The breathable mesh base allows for good ventilation, so choose socks that enhance this comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, soft toothbrush to gently brush the suede in one direction, restoring its nap and texture.

Visible dirt or scuffs on the white mesh base

Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water. Dip a soft cloth or a very soft brush into the solution and gently scrub the mesh. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable after wearing for a while

Ensure you are wearing the correct size; this model is UK 5. For minor discomfort, try wearing thinner socks. If still uncomfortable, ensure your lacing isn't too tight, especially over the instep.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and sophisticated aesthetic with earthy tones
  • High-quality, premium material construction (suede, leather, mesh)

  • Versatile for both casual and light activity use
  • Durable outsole provides good stability and traction

Cons

These sneakers require no special setup beyond choosing your preferred lacing style. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and sporty outfits, particularly complementing earth-toned, neutral, or denim-based wardrobes. To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Nike Air Max 1 '87 Velvet Brown, follow these care instructions: 1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and leather to guard against water and stains. 2. Regular Cleaning: For general dirt, use a soft brush to gently remove loose particles from the suede and mesh. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner designed for multi-material sneakers, applying it with a soft cloth and wiping gently. 3. Spot Treatment: Address stains on the suede mudguard promptly with a suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar on a clean cloth. For the mesh and leather, a damp cloth with mild soap can be effective. 4. Air Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. 5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
