FAQs
What makes the 'Cork - Obsidian' variant unique?
The 'Cork - Obsidian' variant features a distinct color scheme of Blue and White with subtle cork detailing, offering a unique aesthetic compared to standard Air Max 97 models.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they feature Nike's Air Cushion technology for comfort, the Air Max 97 SE is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The guide specifies this model is a UK size 11.5. It's recommended to compare your foot measurements to Nike's official sizing chart or try the shoes on if possible to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit.
What is the primary benefit of the Air Cushion technology?
The Air Cushion technology provides excellent shock absorption and responsive cushioning, contributing to overall comfort during extended wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the Air Cushion units. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
How should I store the trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
What is the difference between trainers and low shoes in this series?
In the context of the Air Max 97 series, 'trainers' and 'low shoes' often refer to the same type of footwear, characterized by their low-top silhouette. The designation might vary slightly by product listing but generally indicates the same shoe style.
Troubleshooting
Tightness or discomfort upon first wear
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size; if still uncomfortable, consider an exchange if possible.
Scuff marks or dirt on the upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, use a soft brush and a slightly more concentrated mild soap solution, then wipe clean. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Laces can be carefully removed, hand-washed with mild detergent and water, and air-dried. They can also be easily replaced with standard shoelaces of a similar length.
