FAQs
Are the Nike Air Max 97 suitable for running?
While the Air Max 97 features a full-length Air unit for cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For dedicated running, Nike offers specialized running shoes with technologies optimized for that activity.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. Measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing guide. The product is listed in UK adult sizes. Consider your sock preference; thicker socks may require a size up for comfort.
What is the main difference between this and other Air Max models?
The Air Max 97 is distinguished by its full-length visible Air sole unit and its unique, wavy 'water ripple' design inspired by high-speed trains and nature.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The leather and synthetic upper offers some protection, but the shoes are not fully waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to prevent damage and ensure comfort. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.
What does 'Alabaster/Safety Orange/Sail' colour mean?
This refers to the specific colorway of the trainers. 'Alabaster' and 'Sail' are off-white tones, while 'Safety Orange' is a vibrant accent color, likely appearing on details like the Swoosh logo or sole accents.
How durable is the leather upper?
The leather and synthetic materials used are chosen for durability, suitable for everyday wear and tear. Regular cleaning and care will help maintain the integrity and appearance of the upper.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot area. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the tightness persists, consider thicker socks might not be suitable for this fit.
Reduced cushioning feel
The full-length Air unit is designed for longevity, but with extensive use, cushioning can slightly diminish. Ensure the shoes are clean, as debris can sometimes affect perceived comfort. For significantly degraded cushioning, it may be time to consider replacement.
Discoloration on leather
Wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Regular conditioning can help maintain the leather's appearance.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but like most trainers, performance on very wet or slick surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from dirt and debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Air Max 97 requires no specific setup. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness for a secure fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with most casual attire.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Air Max 97 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the leather and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the rubber components with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a specialized shoe cleaner can be used.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
