Nike Air Max 1 - Black - 6.5 UK

While comfortable for walking, the Nike Air Max 1 Essential is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual shoe, not for performance running.

The upper features a combination of textile (Black/Off Noir) and faux leather overlays (Vast Grey), providing both durability and a premium look.

The clear Air unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, similar to the midsole. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing that could scratch the material.

Nike Air Max 1 generally fits true to size for most individuals. If you have wider feet, you might consider going up half a size for optimal comfort.

While the materials offer some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended to preserve their condition and avoid moisture damage.

The Nike Air Max 1 Essential Off Noir Vast Grey was released on January 2, 2025.

The Air Max 1 was revolutionary as Nike's first shoe to feature a visible Air unit, launching the iconic Air Max series and influencing sneaker design for decades with its innovative cushioning and style.

Ensure you have the correct size; Nike Air Max 1 generally fits true to size, but consider going up half a size if you have wider feet. Lacing techniques can also affect fit; try loosening the laces or adjusting where pressure points occur. New shoes may also require a short break-in period.

Treat stains promptly with a mild shoe cleaner designed for faux leather and textiles, or a damp cloth and gentle soap. For tougher stains, specialized sneaker cleaning kits may be required. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
