FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Nike Air Max 97 SE is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While it features Max Air cushioning for comfort, it is not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the animal print pattern?
For the animal print, use a soft, slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Gently wipe the surface and avoid excessive rubbing or harsh chemicals to preserve the print's detail.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials (suede, textile, reflective elements) and the construction of the shoe, potentially affecting the cushioning and overall integrity.
What does 'SE' stand for in the product name?
SE typically stands for 'Special Edition,' indicating a variation of the classic model with unique design elements, materials, or colorways, such as the animal print and reflective details on this version.
How is the sizing for the Air Max 97?
Nike Air Max 97 generally runs true to size for most wearers. However, if you have wider feet, you might consider trying them on or opting for a half-size up for added comfort.
Are the reflective elements durable?
The reflective elements are designed to be durable for normal wear. However, they can be sensitive to abrasion and strong cleaning agents. Gentle cleaning and avoiding excessive friction will help maintain their reflectivity.
What is the main inspiration behind the Air Max 97 design?
The original Air Max 97 was inspired by the way water ripples. This SE version incorporates natural world themes with an animal print overlay on top of the iconic ripple design.
Troubleshooting
Reflective details losing their shine.
Gently clean the reflective areas with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
Suede material appears dirty or scuffed.
Use a suede eraser for minor scuffs. For more significant dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner and a soft brush, following product instructions carefully. Protect from moisture.
General dirt and grime on the shoe.
Use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth to wipe down non-suede parts. For the printed areas, use a gentle cleaner designed for fabrics and prints, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
