FAQs

What does 'Big Bubble' refer to in these Air Max 95 trainers?

The 'Big Bubble' refers to the larger visible Air unit in the forefoot of the shoe, a feature that updates the original 1995 Air Max 95 design for enhanced heritage comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic training?

While they offer Air Max cushioning for comfort, the Air Max 95 Big Bubble trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not optimized for high-impact sports or serious athletic training.

How does the sizing typically run for the Air Max 95 series?

Sizing for Air Max 95 can vary slightly. It is generally recommended to consult the Nike size chart or try them on if possible. Some users find they run true to size, while others prefer to go up half a size for a bit more room.

What is the inspiration behind the 'Slate' colorway?

The 'Slate' colorway, also known as 'Lake Blue' and 'French Blue', is inspired by the authentic OG colorways from 1995, evoking hues of sea glass and incorporating signature 'Emerald Green' accents.

How should I clean the leather and suede parts of the trainers?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water can be used on the leather. Suede requires a specialized suede brush or eraser. Always allow to air dry.

What is the main difference between these and modern Air Max models?

The primary difference lies in the cushioning technology. The 'Big Bubble' offers a feel closer to the original 1995 Air Max cushioning, which might be perceived as firmer than the more advanced, softer foams found in some newer Air Max models.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The trainers are not waterproof. While the materials offer some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather and suede can provide additional protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Consider wearing them around the house with appropriate socks to allow the materials to mold to your foot. Laces can be adjusted for a more personalized fit.

Suede material looks matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by brushing once dry.

Visible Air unit appears deflated or damaged

Inspect the Air unit for any punctures or leaks. If damage is observed, it may affect cushioning and support. Contact customer support for potential warranty claims or repair options.

Outsole shows signs of excessive wear

The Waffle outsole is designed for durability, but heavy use can lead to wear. Rotate footwear if possible to distribute wear evenly. For significant wear, replacement might be considered by a professional shoe repair service.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Material Care: The leather and suede components may benefit from occasional conditioning to maintain their suppleness and prevent cracking. Suede can be cleaned with a specialized suede brush. Water-repellent sprays designed for footwear can help protect against moisture and stains.
