FAQs

What is the 'BW' in Air Max BW?

BW stands for 'Big Window', referring to the larger visible Air unit introduced in this model compared to previous Air Max shoes.

Is the Nike Air Max BW 'Persian Violet' good for running?

While it features Max Air cushioning, the Air Max BW is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual athletic shoe, not for high-performance running. It is suitable for light jogging or everyday activities.

How do I clean the different materials on the shoe?

Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush. Address mesh with gentle scrubbing and leather/Durabuck with care to avoid damage. Always air dry.

What does 'OG Persian Violet' mean?

'OG' signifies 'Original Green' or 'Original Generation', indicating this is a reissue of the original colorway that was popular upon its first release in 1991. 'Persian Violet' refers to the specific purple accent color.

What size should I get if I'm usually a UK 9.5 in other Nike shoes?

Sizing can vary slightly between models. While this is a size UK 9.5, it's recommended to check reviews for comments on fit and consider trying them on if possible, as the Air Max BW can fit narrower.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a layered combination of mesh for breathability, leather, and Durabuck for durability and structure.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The Nike Air Max BW generally runs narrower. Individuals with wider feet might find them snug and may need to consider sizing up or exploring other models.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or narrow

The Air Max BW can fit narrower than some other models. Try wearing thinner socks or consider a half-size larger if you have wider feet. Break-in period may be required.

Creasing on leather or Durabuck areas

Creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees for support when not in use.

Visible Air Unit appears deflated

The 'window' is a visual representation. If cushioning feels significantly diminished over long periods, it may indicate wear and tear. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions can help maintain its integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Nike Air Max BW 'Persian Violet' requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: This sneaker is designed for adult male foot sizes. It is generally compatible with standard athletic socks. As a lifestyle sneaker, it pairs well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athletic wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove loose dirt. For stains on mesh, leather, or Durabuck, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. A toothbrush can be used for more stubborn dirt in crevices.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and moisture.
