FAQs

What is the main difference between this '87 model and other Air Max 1s?

The '87 designation and the specific colorway 'Photon Dust Wolf Grey' highlight a direct homage to the original 1987 design, often featuring materials and color blocking that closely resemble the first release, alongside modern construction techniques.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Air Max 1 '87 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for comfort and style during everyday activities. While it features visible Air cushioning, it is not engineered for the specific support and performance demands of running.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and allow the suede to air dry.

What does 'Photon Dust Wolf Grey' refer to?

These are the names of the primary colors used in the shoe's design. 'Photon Dust' is a light, off-white grey, and 'Wolf Grey' is a darker, classic grey, with accents of 'Smoke Grey' also present.

What is the closure type?

The shoe features a traditional lace-up closure for a secure and adjustable fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the suede and mesh materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the heel type?

The Nike Air Max 1 '87 Photon Dust Wolf Grey features a flat heel, consistent with its original design and lifestyle focus.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to product instructions, and spot clean only. Allow to air dry completely.

Mesh feels less breathable

Ensure the shoe is not over-tightened. The mesh is designed for breathability, but excessive pressure can restrict airflow. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the mesh.

Sole feels stiff initially

The Air Max cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow the sole to flex and conform to your foot.

Laces fraying or showing wear

Replace laces with a similar style and length. You can often find replacement laces at athletic footwear stores or online.

Pros and Cons

  • Combination of suede and mesh offers a premium feel and breathability.
  • Iconic Air Max 1 silhouette with updated materials and construction.
  • Visible Air cushioning delivers proven comfort.
  • Durable construction suitable for everyday use.

Cons

  • Lighter grey tones may show dirt and scuffs more easily.
  • Suede material requires specific cleaning and care to prevent damage.
  • As a lifestyle shoe, it may not be ideal for intense athletic performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Nike Air Max 1 '87 arrives ready to wear. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets for a proper fit.

Compatibility: These are men's lifestyle sneakers designed for adult wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Due to the suede and mesh materials, it is recommended to use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth for the mesh and midsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and direct sunlight, which can fade colors and damage materials.
