FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Air Max unit?

When was this model released?

What does the 'Athletic Department' signify?

How do I maintain the iridescent mini swoosh?

The mini swoosh is a durable detail. Clean it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to lift nap and remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first.

Mesh feels less breathable.

Ensure the mesh is clean and free from debris. If the shoe has been exposed to moisture, allow it to dry completely in a well-ventilated area.

Traction feels reduced on the outsole.

Clean the rubber lugged outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the vented areas are also clear.

General discomfort or poor fit.

Verify you have selected the correct size. The shoes may require a short break-in period. Ensure laces are tied appropriately for a snug, but not too tight, fit.
