FAQs

What makes the Air Max 1 '86 'Obsidian' special?

It's a reproduction of the very first Air Max 1 designed in 1986, featuring the original visible Air unit and the classic 'Obsidian' colorway.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for marks. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Avoid getting the suede wet.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

The Nike Air Max 1 '86 is designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear. While it offers cushioning, it is not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running.

What size should I order?

Refer to the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. These are men's US sizes, and it's advisable to check reviews for fit consistency if unsure.

How do I maintain the visible Air unit?

The visible Air unit requires minimal maintenance. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or sharp objects. Clean gently with a damp cloth if necessary.

What other colorways are available for the Air Max 1 '86?

While the 'Obsidian' is a key original colorway, Nike has released other variations of the Air Max 1 '86 over time. Check current availability for other options.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain, especially due to the suede material which can be damaged by water. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection for light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for a few days. Ensure correct sizing was chosen initially.

Suede appears discolored or dirty

Use a suede eraser for minor marks or a dedicated suede cleaning kit. Apply a suede protectant spray after cleaning.

Visible Air unit appears cloudy

This is a common characteristic of aged or older Air units. Minor cloudiness does not typically affect performance unless the unit is compromised.

Soles feel stiff

Wear the shoes regularly to break them in. The rubber sole will become more flexible with use.
