FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Air Max 97's design?

The design, inspired by Japanese bullet trains, offers a unique aesthetic with its fluid lines and full-length visible Air unit, which provides exceptional cushioning and impact absorption.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning, the Air Max 97 is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities. They are not optimized for the demands of serious running.

How do I clean the red accents on the trainers?

Use a damp cloth with a very mild soap solution. Gently wipe the red areas, avoiding excessive scrubbing to prevent color transfer or damage. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the sizing like for Nike Air Max 97?

The sizing is generally considered true to size for most users. However, if you have wide feet, you might consider trying a half-size up for added comfort.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The materials are not fully waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, it's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.

What does 'MPN 921826-018' refer to?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. This specific number identifies this particular model and colorway of the Nike Air Max 97.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing pattern or tension according to your comfort. The unique wavy design allows for varied lacing configurations.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

This is common due to the design. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in.

Creasing on the upper

Some creasing is normal with leather and synthetic materials. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and store properly.

Difficulty cleaning specific areas

Use a soft-bristled brush, like an old toothbrush, to gently scrub dirt from textured areas and the sole.
