Full details

This shoe features a white mesh base for breathability, suede overlays for structure and style, and a distinctive dark blue suede mudguard with an iridescent mini swoosh. The standout feature is the visible Air unit within the foam midsole, offering cushioning and a revolutionary aesthetic, complemented by a durable rubber lugged outsole for traction.

The shoe features a combination of white mesh for the base and suede overlays in shades of gray and deep royal blue. The mudguard is also made of suede.

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for light marks. Avoid water and use specialized suede cleaners for tougher stains, testing in a hidden spot first.

Is this shoe suitable for running or intense athletic training?

The Nike Air Max 1 is primarily a lifestyle shoe. While it offers good cushioning for walking and casual wear, it is not designed for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.

What does 'Visible Air' mean?

Does this shoe come in other materials besides suede?

Troubleshooting

Suede discoloration or staining

Use a suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products and follow their instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Mesh appears dirty

Gently clean with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Rinse carefully with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the Air unit is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating footwear for daily use.

Laces fraying or getting dirty

Replace laces as needed. Clean laces by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air dry.
