FAQs
What makes the 'Metal Mesh' unique?
The 'Metal Mesh' refers to the durable, metallic-looking mesh material used in the upper construction, providing a futuristic aesthetic and enhanced foot protection compared to standard mesh.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature Nike's Air Max cushioning for comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and statement fashion. For dedicated running, Nike offers specific running shoe models.
How do I clean the red and yellow branding?
Use a soft, damp cloth and very mild soap if necessary. Gently wipe the branded areas to avoid damaging the colors or material.
What is the 'TN' branding?
'TN' stands for 'Tuned Air', a Nike technology that uses independent, adjustable air units to create a personalized, stable, and responsive cushioning system.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, Nike Air Max Plus models fit true to size. However, due to the unique construction of the Metal Mesh variant, it's always recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather components offer some water resistance, but the metal mesh and other materials are not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material integrity.
What is the original release date and price?
This model was released on October 1st, 2021, with an original retail price of $170.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new Air units. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. If persistent, ensure no debris is trapped within the sole's grooves.
Discoloration on the metal mesh
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with mild soap and water as per care instructions.
Laces becoming worn
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Consider contrasting or complementary colors to match the shoe's design.
Reduced cushioning over time
Air Max cushioning is designed for durability but will naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure proper care to maximize its lifespan.
