FAQs
What is the inspiration behind the Nike Air Max 97 design?
The Nike Air Max 97 design is inspired by the high-speed Japanese silver bullet trains, noted for their sleek and aerodynamic form.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While they feature performance technology like the Max Air unit for comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for everyday wear and fashion, not for intense athletic training.
How do I maintain the 3M reflective finish?
Clean the reflective surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
What materials are used in the Nike Air Max 97 Gorge Green?
The upper is constructed with a combination of Obsidian mesh and black-toned synthetic leather overlays.
How should I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the mesh areas and rinse with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
What does the 'Gorge Green' refer to?
'Gorge Green' refers to the distinctive and primary colorway of this particular Nike Air Max 97 model.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the construction offers some durability, it is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, especially due to the leather components which can be damaged by excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If still tight, try using a shoe stretcher or wearing them for short periods to allow them to break in.
Laces are difficult to tie neatly
Ensure laces are threaded through eyelets evenly. Consider replacing laces with a different material or length if issues persist.
Reflective elements appear dull
Gently wipe the reflective surfaces with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
Discoloration on leather parts
Clean with a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
