FAQs

What materials are used in the Nike Air Max 1 Athletic Department?

The shoe features a combination of white mesh for the base and suede overlays in gray and deep royal blue. The outsole is made of rubber.

How does the visible Air cushioning work?

The visible Air cushioning is a Nike technology that uses pressurized air in a durable, flexible chamber within the midsole to provide lightweight, responsive cushioning and impact absorption.

What is the primary color of this specific model?

The primary colors are white and gray for the base and overlays, with a distinctive deep royal blue mudguard and accents.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While comfortable for walking and light activities due to the Air cushioning, the Air Max 1 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual athletic shoe, not for high-performance running.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush or eraser for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used cautiously. Always allow to air dry away from heat.

When was this shoe released?

The Nike Air Max 1 Athletic Department Deep Royal Blue was released on September 7, 2023.

Are there other colorways or similar models available?

Yes, the Air Max 1 series has many variations and colorways, and sibling products might include different sizes or related 'Athletic Department' themed releases.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes occur due to air trapped in the cushioning unit. Try wearing them for a bit longer; the sound may dissipate. Ensure the sole is clean and dry.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider using insoles for additional cushioning or support if needed. Break-in periods can vary for different materials.

Mudguard discoloration

Suede can be sensitive to moisture and stains. Clean gently with a suede eraser or a soft brush. Protect with a suede protector spray, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
