FAQs

What makes the 'Cork' variant unique?

The 'Cork' variant is distinguished by its unique color combinations and material accents, offering a stylish departure from standard Air Max 97 models.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature a full-length Max Air unit for cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and not for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I clean the speckled midsole?

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid excessive scrubbing to preserve the speckled finish.

What is the purpose of the pull tabs?

The pull tabs located on the tongue and heel are designed to assist in easily pulling the shoes on and off.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended to maintain the condition and longevity of the leather and unique color elements.

What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?

Given the structured nature of the shoe, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to try the larger size for potentially better comfort, especially if you prefer wearing thicker socks.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from leather, featuring multicolored supportive and protective panels.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the outsole

Ensure proper rotation with other footwear and avoid excessive wear on abrasive surfaces. Check for any debris lodged in the outsole patterns.

Discomfort in the arch area

Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional arch support. Ensure the correct size has been selected, as incorrect sizing can cause discomfort.

Creasing on the leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.

Care:
