Nike Air Max SNDR Gore-Tex - Black - UK 7

Yes, the Nike Air Max SNDR Gore-Tex features a GORE-TEX membrane, which provides reliable waterproofing, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions while remaining breathable.

Gently wipe the textile upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing, harsh chemicals, or direct heat sources as these can damage the materials and GORE-TEX membrane.

The zip closure provides a secure and sleek fit. While it differs from traditional laces in terms of micro-adjustments, it offers a consistent and quick on/off experience, maintaining the shoe's distinct aesthetic and weather protection.

While they feature Air Max cushioning for comfort, these shoes are primarily designed for lifestyle, urban exploration, and light outdoor activities, not for high-performance running. For dedicated running, Nike offers specific running shoe lines.

The reflective TPR overlays are designed for durability and to enhance visibility. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain their reflective properties over time.

The upper is constructed from a durable textile, combined with a GORE-TEX membrane for waterproofing and reflective TPR overlays for added detail and protection.

The GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent water resistance suitable for wet and rainy conditions. While they offer some protection from moisture, they are not insulated for extreme cold or designed for deep snow traction like dedicated winter boots. The rubber outsole provides standard traction.

Ensure the zip closure is fully sealed. Check for any physical damage to the GORE-TEX membrane (e.g., punctures). Also, consider the type of socks you're wearing; non-wicking socks can retain moisture. In extreme humidity or prolonged exposure, even breathable waterproof membranes have limits.

Gently clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush or damp cloth. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth (avoiding the fabric).

This can sometimes be caused by air trapped in the sole or friction between components. Try removing the insole and dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of talcum powder. If it persists, it might be a characteristic of the Air Max unit, which typically doesn't affect performance.

Clean the reflective TPR overlays gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or grime that might be obscuring their reflectivity.
