FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Air Max 97 offers excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

Check the Nike sizing chart for UK men's sizes. Given this is a UK 15, consider how you typically like your trainers to fit – snug or with more room.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the Air unit and leather components.

What is the primary inspiration for the Air Max 97 design?

The design is famously inspired by Japan's high-speed Shinkansen (bullet train) and the natural aesthetics of water ripples.

How durable is the leather upper?

The leather upper is designed for durability and resilience, suitable for everyday wear, but should be cared for according to the instructions to maintain its appearance and integrity.

What does 'Anthracite Picante' refer to?

'Black Anthracite' refers to the primary dark grey and black color scheme, while 'Picante' likely denotes accent colors, such as red, used in specific details of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to stretch. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Ensure insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole may help.

Discoloration on leather

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for black leather, following product instructions.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded debris. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down.
