FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Air Max 97 design?
The design of the Nike Air Max 97 is inspired by Japanese bullet trains, which is reflected in its distinctive wavy lines and sleek, aerodynamic appearance.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the Air Max 97 offers excellent cushioning for everyday comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers rather than specialized running shoes. For intense running, dedicated running footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the visible Air unit?
The visible Air unit itself does not require special cleaning beyond what is needed for the rest of the sole. Use a damp cloth to wipe it clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the material.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some water resistance, especially if treated with a protector spray. However, they are not waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep puddles should be avoided to prevent damage to the materials and the visible Air unit.
What does 'Pearl Pink' refer to?
'Pearl Pink' refers to the specific shade of pink used in the colourway of these trainers, complemented by white accents.
How durable is the leather upper?
The premium leather construction is designed for durability and longevity. However, like all leather products, it benefits from proper care to maintain its condition and prevent premature wear.
What is the main benefit of the full-length visible Air unit?
The primary benefit of the full-length visible Air unit is to provide continuous, responsive cushioning from heel to toe, enhancing comfort during extended wear and daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. You can also try wearing thicker socks around the house to help stretch them gently.
Visible Air unit appears deflated
The visible Air unit is designed for cushioning, not to be rigid. If you suspect a puncture, avoid using the shoes and consult a shoe repair specialist or consider replacement, as the cushioning and structural integrity may be compromised.
Discoloration on the pink leather
This can occur due to sun exposure or contact with certain dyes. Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for colored leather and follow its instructions carefully. Prevent prolonged sun exposure when storing or wearing.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes happen due to friction between parts of the shoe or moisture. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or between the tongue and laces to absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers come ready to wear. Simply unbox and try them on for fit.
Compatibility:
Designed for adult female feet (UK size 8.5). They are compatible with standard sock wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and a clean, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and potential damage. Avoid storing in direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the sole and upper for any signs of wear and tear. Consider using a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance and prevent stains.
