FAQs

What does 'Big Bubble' refer to in the Air Max 95?

'Big Bubble' refers to an enlarged Air Max unit in the heel, which was a feature in some original releases and has been reintroduced to provide enhanced cushioning and a nod to heritage.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

The product lists UK shoe sizes. It is recommended to consult Nike's official size guide for accurate foot measurements to ensure the best fit.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the Air Max 95 offers good cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For dedicated running activities, specialized running shoes are recommended.

What is the primary inspiration for the Air Max 95 design?

The Nike Air Max 95's design is famously inspired by the human anatomy, with its midsole representing the spine, layered panels as muscles, eyelets as ribs, and mesh as the skin.

How should I care for the leather and suede components?

Use a specialized suede brush for the suede areas and a soft, damp cloth for the leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Consider using a protective spray suitable for both materials.

What does 'Slate' refer to in the product name?

'Slate' refers to the nickname of this specific colorway, 'Lake Blue' and 'French Blue', evoking hues reminiscent of sea glass.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal shoe components. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) into the shoe, particularly around the heel or sole, to absorb moisture and reduce friction. Ensure laces are tied correctly.

Discoloration on suede or leather

For suede, use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For minor scuffs on leather, a leather cleaner or conditioner may help. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Protect with a suitable waterproofing spray.

Laces wearing out

Replace worn laces with new ones of similar length and material. Ensure the replacement laces are suitable for athletic footwear to withstand regular use.
