Nike Air Max 97 'Letterman Pack' - Blue - Leather - Air Max - UK 8.5

The Nike Air Max 97 is famously inspired by the high-speed Japanese 'bullet' trains, reflected in its fluid, wavy lines and metallic accents.

While they feature the Max Air cushioning, the Air Max 97 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and comfort. They are not optimized for high-impact running activities.

Clean the reflective parts gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, as this can damage the reflective coating.

'Gorge Green' refers to the specific shade of green used as a primary color accent on this particular model of the Nike Air Max 97.

The Nike Air Max 97 generally runs true to size, but some users with wider feet may find them a bit snug. It's often recommended to try them on in person or consider a half-size up if you prefer more room.

The upper is constructed with a combination of Obsidian mesh for breathability and black-toned synthetic leather overlays for structure and durability.

Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up, especially if you have wider feet, as Air Max 97 models can sometimes run narrow.

This can occur over time due to oxidation. While it's a natural process for some materials, it can be slowed by proper care and storage away from sunlight. Limited cleaning with specialized shoe cleaners might help slightly, but significant yellowing is often permanent.

The 3M reflective material only appears when direct light (like a camera flash or car headlights) hits it. Ensure you are in a low-light environment and expose the shoe to a direct light source to see the effect.
