FAQs

Are the Nike Air Max 97 suitable for running?

While the Air Max 97 offers good cushioning, it's primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer rather than a dedicated running shoe. For intense running, a specialized running shoe is recommended.

What does 'Anthracite Picante' refer to?

'Anthracite' is a shade of dark grey, and 'Picante' likely refers to the red accent colors found on this specific version of the Air Max 97, providing a bold contrast.

How do I clean the reflective piping?

Gently wipe the reflective elements with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the reflective coating.

What is the main benefit of the full-length Max Air unit?

The full-length Max Air unit provides comprehensive cushioning and impact protection along the entire sole, enhancing comfort during walking and standing.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, these are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance.

What year did the Air Max 97 originally release?

The Nike Air Max 97 was originally released in 1997.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Consult Nike's official sizing chart and ensure your foot measurements are accurate. If possible, try them on in-store or consider the return policy if purchasing online.

Laces come undone easily

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. You may consider replacing the laces with a textured or thicker pair for better grip.

Discomfort after extended wear

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure they are the correct size and width for your feet.

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and store shoes with shoe trees or stuffed with paper.
