Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97s maintain their integrity, avoid machine washing or drying. For routine cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush with a mild, soap-based cleaner to gently remove dirt from the mesh and leather surfaces. Focus on the rubber midsole by wiping it with a damp cloth to prevent yellowing. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the metallic finish to fade over time. Always ensure the laces are fully untied before inserting your foot to prevent premature wear on the heel collar.
