FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While they feature Air Max cushioning, the Air Max 97 is primarily a lifestyle trainer and is better suited for casual walking than dedicated long-distance running.
How do I clean the metallic gold finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent. Do not scrub hard or use chemical solvents as this may remove the gold finish.
Do the reflective parts glow in the dark?
They are reflective, not phosphorescent; they will shine brightly when light hits them, such as from car headlights.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, the Air Max 97 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the materials are durable, it is best to avoid heavy rain to protect the metallic sheen and the cleanliness of the white lining.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on metallic upper
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp microfiber cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive sponges.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing.
Reduced visibility of reflective material
Ensure the 3M strips are free of dust and grime by gently wiping them, as layers of dirt can obstruct the reflective function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are ready-to-wear trainers, there is no assembly required. For compatibility, the standard UK 8 fit aligns with typical Nike sizing. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the metallic coating and adhesive bonds. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp microfiber cloth with mild soap to gently remove surface dirt. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the gold material from fading or cracking over time. Always ensure the shoes are completely air-dried before storing or wearing again.
