FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature advanced cushioning, they are designed primarily as lifestyle sneakers for casual daily wear rather than for athletic running performance.

How should I clean the Air Max 97s?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the surface. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, you may want to consider a half-size up.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.

Is the Air unit prone to popping?

The Air unit is highly durable and designed to handle the impact of daily walking; it is very unlikely to puncture under normal conditions.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of stiffness when first wearing

Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the materials to soften and adapt to your foot.

Accumulation of dirt between the wavy layers

Use a soft toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the crevices without damaging the surface material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent underfoot comfort provided by the full-length Air unit
  • Durable build quality suitable for consistent daily use
  • Iconic, timeless design that stays fashionable in various settings
  • Reliable lockdown with the integrated lacing system

Cons

  • Structured build may feel stiff during the initial break-in period
  • Limited to lifestyle and casual use rather than performance running
  • The layered upper can be more difficult to deep clean than mesh-only trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal fit, ensure the laces are fully loosened before your first wear to allow the upper to accommodate your foot shape. These shoes are true to size for most users, but consider wearing mid-weight socks during the first few days to facilitate the break-in process. To maintain their appearance, clean them regularly by wiping down the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the Air unit and adhesive bonds. If the outsoles pick up debris, use a soft-bristled brush to clear the treads and maintain traction.
