FAQs

What is the significance of the 'BW' in Air Max BW?

BW stands for 'Big Window,' referring to the larger, more visible Air unit in the sole, which was an advancement in the Air Max line when it was first introduced.

How does the 'Persian Violet' colorway differ from other Air Max BW models?

The 'Persian Violet' colorway is characterized by its distinctive purple accents on the heel, Swoosh, and Air cushioning, set against a primarily black and white upper, offering a bold and recognizable aesthetic.

Is this sneaker suitable for running marathons?

While the Air Max BW offers good cushioning for everyday wear and light activities, it is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. For marathon running, specialized running shoes designed for performance and specific support are recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

As this is a reissue of a 1991 design, sizing might differ from modern shoes. It's recommended to check Nike's official sizing chart and consider reviews regarding fit. If possible, try them on before purchasing or check the retailer's return policy.

What materials are used in the Nike Air Max BW 'Persian Violet' 2021?

The sneaker features a layered construction typically including mesh for breathability, leather for structure, and Durabuck for durability, with accents in 'Persian Violet'.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the Air cushioning unit. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and soft brush is the preferred method.

Troubleshooting

Uneven comfort or pressure points

Ensure the laces are tied properly, not too tight or too loose. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or wearing them for longer to see if the sound subsides. Ensure the insole is correctly positioned.

Dirt buildup on mesh or leather

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the affected areas. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for mixed materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
