Full details

By blending elements from iconic Air Max models with a full-length VaporMax sole, these trainers deliver exceptional cushioning and a striking, layered appearance; however, the complex synthetic leather, mesh, and TPU construction requires careful maintenance to preserve the textured look over time.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for intense long-distance running?
While the VaporMax sole offers great cushioning, the EVO series is primarily designed for lifestyle and daily wear rather than specialized long-distance athletic performance.
How should I clean the white sections of the shoe?
Use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution or a mixture of mild soap and water on a soft cloth, focusing specifically on the white leather areas to prevent yellowing.
Do the Air VaporMax EVO run true to size?
Yes, they are designed to fit standard UK sizing, but the layered construction may feel more snug than thinner, minimalist sneakers.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if necessary.
What is the best way to keep the reflective heel tabs bright?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes on the reflective material; simple water and a soft cloth are sufficient.
Are the shoes water-resistant?
Due to the mesh panels, these shoes are not waterproof and may allow water to soak through during heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather or synthetic overlays
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material retain its shape and minimize permanent creases.
Stubborn dirt in the mesh webbing
Use an old toothbrush dipped in a very mild detergent solution and gently scrub in circular motions, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Sole unit squeaking
If the shoe squeaks on smooth floors, ensure the outsole is clean and free of trapped pebbles or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air VaporMax EVO trainers maintain their look, keep these care guidelines in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and synthetic leather areas. Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the TPU and neoprene components.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the synthetic materials from cracking or discolouring.
- Surface Compatibility: While durable, the VaporMax sole is designed primarily for flat, clean surfaces. Avoid walking over sharp rocks or broken glass that could puncture the air-filled cushioning units.
