FAQs

How do I accurately measure my foot for the correct size?

Place your foot on a piece of paper and trace around it. Measure the distance from your heel to the tip of your longest toe in centimeters. Use this measurement to find the corresponding EU size on the provided chart. If your measurement falls between two sizes, select the larger one.

What does 'Evolution of Icon' signify?

This refers to a special edition or colorway of the Air Max 97 that celebrates the shoe's legacy and iconic status within Nike's Air Max lineage, often incorporating unique design elements or color palettes.

Is the Air Max 97 suitable for running marathons?

The Air Max 97 provides excellent cushioning for everyday wear and light athletic activities. However, for serious or long-distance running like marathons, dedicated performance running shoes from Nike's running-specific lines would offer more advanced support and technical features.

How do I clean the visible Air unit?

The visible Air unit can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could potentially damage the transparent material.

Are these shoes available in other colors?

Yes, the Nike Air Max 97 model is released in various colorways. This guide specifically covers the 'Evolution of Icon' in Grey. Please check product listings for other available options.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from leather, offering durability and a premium look and feel.

Do these shoes come in men's and women's sizes?

This specific listing and guide are for men's sizes (UK 8). Nike Air Max 97 models are often available in both men's and women's sizing, so please check the product details for availability.

Troubleshooting

Inconsistent Sizing

Measure your foot length carefully from heel to toe using the provided instructions. Compare this measurement to the size chart, selecting the closest EU size. If between sizes, choose the larger one for a more comfortable fit, as recommended.

Leather Creasing

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Color Transfer

In rare cases, darker colors may transfer to lighter socks. This is more likely when the shoes are new and exposed to moisture. Ensure shoes are dry and consider wearing darker socks initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure you have selected the correct size before purchase.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males. Refer to the size chart for accurate foot measurement and selection. The EU sizing is standard, with Russian sizes provided for reference only.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather. For the midsole and outsole, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to warp or crack.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
