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