FAQs

What is the significance of the 'BW' in Air Max BW?

BW stands for 'Big Window,' referring to the larger visible Air unit in the sole compared to previous Air Max models.

Is this shoe suitable for running marathons?

The Air Max BW 'Persian Violet' 2021 is designed more for lifestyle and casual wear. While it offers good cushioning for everyday activities, it is not optimized for high-performance running like specialized running shoes.

How do I clean the Durabuck material?

Use a specialized suede or nubuck brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, and then allow to air dry. Avoid excessive water.

What year was the original Air Max BW released?

The original Nike Air Max BW was first released in 1991.

Does this shoe come in other colors?

The Nike Air Max BW line has featured various colorways over the years. This specific 2021 reissue is known for the 'Persian Violet' color scheme.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of mesh, leather, and Durabuck for a layered and durable design.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try walking on a dry surface or allowing the shoes to air out. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Discoloration of the 'Persian Violet' accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Clean using only mild soap and water with a soft cloth as per care instructions.

General discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually with short wear periods. Consider using thicker socks or adding a cushioned insole if needed.
