Full details
The Nike Air Max 97 OG is an iconic trainer designed for adult men who value a blend of heritage aesthetics and modern comfort. Featuring the signature full-length Air Max cushioning system and a sleek leather upper, it offers exceptional impact protection for daily walking. A notable caveat is the distinct, vibrant color palette and striped design, which requires a more intentional approach to outfit coordination compared to neutral-colored footwear.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, while they feature cushioning, the Nike Air Max 97 is designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than long-distance running.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The Air Max 97 fits true to size. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the Air cushioning unit. Always clean by hand.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree but not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent water stains.
How do I maintain the reflective stripes?
Keep them clean of dust and debris; avoid abrasive scrubbing which can degrade the reflective coating.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
This is natural for leather materials. Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to maintain their shape.
Visible dirt on the Air unit
Wipe the clear Air cushioning gently with a clean, damp microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are pre-assembled lifestyle trainers, no technical setup is required beyond ensuring the correct size fit. For compatibility, the Atlantic Blue and Yellow colorway pairs effectively with neutral tones like denim, grey, or black joggers. To ensure longevity, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If the leather becomes soiled, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid fully submerging the trainers in water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
