The Air Max unit is designed to be visible and flexible. Minor compression during wear is normal. If there is a significant visible tear or leak, discontinue use and consult with Nike customer service.

Discoloration of white leather/mesh

Clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid contact with dark-colored materials that could transfer dye. Use appropriate leather cleaners for the leather portions.
