Their key benefit lies in the signature Air Max cushioning and water-inspired design for a unique aesthetic. A potential caveat is that their premium materials may require specific care to maintain their appearance.

The full-length visible Air unit is a standout feature, designed to resemble water with a reflection.

FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Air Max 97 SE design?
The design is inspired by water, particularly reflected in the undulating lines of the shoe and the visual effect of the full-length visible Air unit, which is designed to look like water with a reflection.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Nike Air Max 97 SE are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer excellent cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities and lack the specialized support features of dedicated running shoes.
How do I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the leather. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'SE' stand for in the product name?
'SE' typically stands for 'Special Edition'. This indicates a unique colorway, material update, or design variation from the standard model.
How does the full-length Air unit contribute to comfort?
The full-length visible Air unit provides consistent cushioning and responsive energy return across the entire sole of the shoe, enhancing comfort during walking and everyday activities.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the shoes have a water-inspired design, they are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and prolong their lifespan. Ensure they are dry if they get damp.
What is the sizing like for these trainers?
The Nike Air Max 97 generally follows standard Nike sizing. It is recommended to consult Nike's official size chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit, especially when ordering online. This specific model is available in UK size 10.5.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to air moving within the sole unit or friction between components. Try wearing thicker socks or placing a small piece of powder inside the shoe. If persistent, check for any trapped debris in the sole grooves.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Air units can lose some of their responsiveness with prolonged heavy use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for casual trainers. For heavy wear, consider rotating with other footwear.
Discoloration of white or light-colored materials
Light-colored leather and textile can be prone to staining. Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. Use specialized sneaker cleaning kits for tougher stains. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive dirt.
Loose threads on the upper
Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid pulling on them, as this may unravel stitching.
