FAQs
Are the Nike Air Max 97 suitable for running?
While the Air Max 97 offers excellent cushioning for everyday comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. For dedicated running performance, Nike offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart available online, which provides measurements for UK, US, and European sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Nike Air Max 97 trainers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and the Air cushioning unit. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What does 'White Gum' refer to in the colorway?
'White Gum' describes the primary color of the shoe (white) and the color of the outsole (typically a gum rubber shade), offering a classic contrast.
How durable is the visible Air cushioning?
The full-length visible Air cushioning is designed for durability and consistent comfort throughout the shoe's lifespan. However, avoid exposing it to sharp objects or extreme pressure.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The Nike Air Max 97 model has been released in numerous colorways over the years. This guide focuses on the specific 'White Gum' variant.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the insole. Try removing the insole, ensuring both it and the inside of the shoe are dry, and then reinserting it. If the noise persists, it might be a minor manufacturing anomaly.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, consult Nike's sizing guide or consider insoles for added support.
Scuffs or marks on the white upper
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water for light marks. For tougher stains, a magic eraser or a dedicated sneaker cleaner can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid machine washing.

Care Instructions:
