FAQs

Are the Nike Air Max 97 true to size?

They generally fit true to size, but because of the sleek, tapered design, some users prefer to go half a size up for extra comfort.

Can these be used for running?

While originally a performance running shoe, the Air Max 97 is now classified as a lifestyle sneaker, best suited for walking and casual wear.

How do I protect the gold finish?

Use a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for synthetic trainers to create a protective barrier against the elements.

Do the reflective strips require batteries?

No, the 3M accents are passive reflective materials that glow only when light is shone directly upon them.

How often should I clean my sneakers?

For optimal maintenance, perform a light wipe-down after heavy use to prevent dirt from setting into the synthetic materials.

Is the Air Max unit puncture-proof?

The Air unit is highly durable for standard wear, but you should avoid walking on sharp debris or broken glass to prevent potential damage.

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing on the upper

Use a sneaker tree when storing to help the shoe retain its natural shape.

Dirt buildup on the Air unit

Wipe the clear Air unit with a damp microfiber cloth to remove debris and maintain clarity.

Reflective strips appear dull

Gently clean with a slightly damp cloth to remove film or dust; avoid heavy scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 97 trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the 97 silhouette has a streamlined, snug fit. Consider sizing up if you prefer more room in the toe box.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild soap solution to gently clean the synthetic uppers. Avoid harsh chemicals that could strip the metallic sheen.
  3. Drying: Air dry your sneakers in a cool, shaded area. Never place them in a tumble dryer or near a direct heat source, as this can degrade the air unit.
  4. Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the golden finish from oxidizing or fading.
