FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Nike Air Max 97 Gorge Green?

The design is inspired by the sleek, high-speed Japanese silver bullet trains, reflected in its fluid lines and innovative structure.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Air Max 97 features a full-length Max Air unit for cushioning, making them comfortable for walking and everyday wear. However, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers and not for intense athletic training or running.

How do I clean the 3M reflective parts?

Clean the reflective parts gently with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the reflective coating.

What does 'Gorge Green' refer to?

Gorge Green is the specific name of the primary color used on this iteration of the Air Max 97, referring to a distinctive shade of green.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from a combination of Obsidian mesh and black-toned synthetic leather overlays.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Yes, the Nike Air Max 97 model is available in various colorways. This guide specifically covers the Gorge Green (Women's) version.

What is the fit like?

The Air Max 97 can sometimes run narrow or small. It is often recommended to try them on if possible or consider ordering a half-size up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you have wider feet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have purchased the correct size. Consider wearing thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher if the material allows. Break-in period may be required.

Color appears different than expected

Product photos may vary slightly due to lighting conditions and screen settings. The Gorge Green color is designed to be vibrant and may look different in direct sunlight versus indoor lighting.

Reflective details not visible

The 3M reflective material only activates under direct light sources, such as camera flashes or headlights. It is not reflective in normal ambient light.
