FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Nike Air Max Plus Tuned Air Obsidian is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer, offering excellent comfort and style for everyday wear. While they provide good cushioning, they may not offer the specialized support and performance features required for competitive marathon running compared to dedicated running shoes.
How do I clean the mesh and leather parts?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution for the mesh. For leather accents, use a damp cloth and consider a leather conditioner after cleaning. Always air dry.
What does 'Tuned Air' mean?
Tuned Air technology refers to Nike's innovation of customizing Air Max cushioning for specific performance benefits, providing tailored support and comfort in different zones of the shoe.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to discomfort and potential damage to the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies depending on usage frequency and intensity. With proper care and for regular casual wear, they can last a considerable amount of time, typically from one to three years.
Are there other color options available?
This specific model is the Obsidian variant. Nike often releases the Air Max Plus series in various colorways and sibling models like the Air Max Plus Utility, which might offer different color options.
What UK size is equivalent to a US size for these trainers?
This guide focuses on the UK size 12.5. For specific US size conversions, please refer to Nike's official size conversion charts as these can vary slightly between models and regions.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to air moving within the sole units. Try inserting a talcum powder or cornstarch into the shoe, or check if the insole is loose and reposition it.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Verify you have the correct size; consider if break-in period is needed for new shoes.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While Air Max units are durable, their cushioning can lessen with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect sole function. If the cushioning has significantly degraded, it may be time to consider replacement.
