Product Information

Full details

The Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG 'Obsidian' trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of heritage style and modern comfort. The key benefit is its iconic design, revived from 1986, offering premium materials and signature Air cushioning. A potential caveat is that as a retro reissue, sizing might differ slightly from modern trainers, so trying them on or consulting a size guide is recommended.

FAQs

What does 'OG Obsidian' refer to?

'OG' stands for 'Original,' referring to a reissue of the initial design. 'Obsidian' is the colorway name, indicating the primary navy blue color, accented with white and grey.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While they feature Nike's Air technology for comfort and have a durable outsole for traction, these are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I ensure I'm buying authentic Nike trainers?

Purchase from authorized Nike retailers or reputable sellers. The product description confirms 100% authenticity and includes the original box (OG all), which are good indicators.

What is the best way to clean the leather and mesh materials?

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a soft brush for the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Always air dry.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with your preferred orthotics or supportive insoles if needed.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Nike generally offers a limited warranty on manufacturing defects. Please refer to Nike's official website or the retailer's policy for specific warranty details applicable to your purchase.

Do these trainers run true to size?

As a retro reissue, sizing can sometimes vary from modern versions. It's advisable to check reviews or consult a size chart, and if possible, try them on before purchasing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have chosen the correct UK size. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in. If still uncomfortable, check if they are available in half sizes or a different width if applicable.

Laces are difficult to tie or stay tied

Check the lace material and condition. Ensure they are not frayed. Try a different lacing technique or knot. Replace laces if they are worn out.

Visible Air unit appears deflated or damaged

The visible Air unit is designed for cushioning, not for being fully inflated like a balloon. Minor compression is normal. If there is a significant rupture or leak (e.g., squeaking sounds), this may indicate damage and the shoes should be inspected by a retailer.

Color transfer from shoes to socks or skin

Darker colored footwear, especially when new, can sometimes transfer dye. This is more common in damp conditions. Wash the inside of the shoes gently and allow them to dry completely. Wear darker socks initially if color transfer is a concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: While designed for casual wear, the durable construction and reliable traction make them suitable for light activities. They are compatible with most casual outfits, from athletic wear to everyday denim.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using the original box can help maintain their condition and protect them from dust.
