FAQs
Can I run in these shoes?
While they feature Air Max cushioning, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers and are not intended for long-distance running.
How should I clean the velour material?
Use a damp, soft cloth to spot clean gently. Avoid soaking the material and do not put these shoes in a washing machine.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Most wearers find the Air Max 1/97 fits consistent with standard Nike sizing, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.
Are the frayed edges meant to be loose?
Yes, the frayed edges are an intentional design element meant to provide a vintage, worn-in look.
What is the inspiration behind the colorway?
The design was inspired by Sean Wotherspoon's love for vintage 1980s Nike hats and apparel.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the velour
Use a specialized fabric lint roller or a soft, clean garment brush to gently lift debris without pulling at the frayed edges.
Creasing on the upper
Use a high-quality sneaker shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure of the toe box and mid-panel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep these sneakers in optimal condition, treat the materials with caution. Since the upper is constructed from soft fabrics, avoid using harsh brushes or chemical cleaners that might damage the velour pile. A soft-bristled brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Always store these in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility-wise, these sneakers have a versatile fit, but it is recommended to wear them with low-cut socks to maintain the aesthetic intended by the designer.
