FAQs

Is the Nike Air Max 97 South Beach true to size?

Most users find them to be true to size, but the design is naturally narrow. If you prefer a roomier fit, consider going up a half size.

Can I use these for running?

While they are comfortable, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and casual daily use rather than high-intensity running.

How do I keep the white parts clean?

Regular maintenance is key. Wipe them down after each use and use a sneaker-safe cleaning solution for deeper stains.

Does the leather stretch over time?

Leather will naturally soften and adapt to your foot shape after a period of break-in, but it does not stretch significantly.

Are these suitable for all weather conditions?

The white leather and mesh construction is best for dry conditions. Excessive exposure to rain or mud may damage the materials and stain the white fabric.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the material maintain its shape.

Surface scuffs on the white leather

Gently clean with a dedicated leather sneaker wipe or a soft cloth with a mild soap solution.

Mesh becoming dull or stained

Use a soft brush with warm water and mild detergent to gently scrub the mesh, then allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking, retro-inspired color scheme
  • High-quality leather and mesh materials
  • Full-length cushioning for everyday comfort
  • Versatile design suitable for casual wear

Cons

  • White base is prone to showing dirt and stains
  • Requires frequent upkeep to maintain color vibrancy
  • Slightly heavier feel compared to modern flyknit trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these sneakers are constructed with leather and mesh, proper care is essential. To maintain the white color, use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft-bristled brush after each wear if you notice surface debris. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather and degrade the adhesive on the sole unit. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white materials to yellow over time. Using shoe trees can help the sneakers retain their structural integrity when not being worn.
