Product Information
Full details
The Nike Liquid Max AirWave is designed for adult athletes and casual wearers who prioritize responsive cushioning and a fluid gait. By integrating a drop-in Cushlon midsole with a specialized point-loaded Air system, these trainers provide exceptional support for daily movement and athletic performance, though users should note that the unique Air configuration may require a brief adjustment period for those used to standard foam-only soles.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
They are best suited for mid-distance, daily training, and gym use rather than marathon-length runs.
Can I remove the midsole?
Yes, the Cushlon midsole is a drop-in design and can be removed for cleaning or inspection.
How do I determine my size?
The Liquid Max AirWave fits true to size for most adults, though if you prefer a roomier fit for training, consider a half-size up.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh construction is designed for airflow and is not water-resistant.
How often should I replace them?
It is recommended to replace these trainers every 300 to 500 miles of use, depending on the intensity of your activities.
Troubleshooting
Feeling uneven pressure under the foot
Remove the drop-in midsole and ensure it is centered and flat within the shoe cavity.
Exterior mesh looking dull or dusty
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris, then wipe gently with a dampened cloth.
Squeaking sounds while walking
Ensure the midsole is completely dry and free of trapped debris between the drop-in unit and the outer shell.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Liquid Max AirWave utilizes a drop-in midsole, ensure the internal component is seated correctly before first use to prevent shifting. Compatibility is standard for most athletic socks, though thinner socks are recommended if you prefer a 'locked-in' performance feel. For care, keep these trainers away from abrasive surfaces to preserve the Air units. Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash the shoes or place them in a dryer, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the Air cushioning system.
