FAQs

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

'Big Bubble' refers to the original, larger visible Air units that were featured in the early iterations of the Air Max 95. This special release brings back that authentic, enhanced cushioning.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running?

While the Air Max 95 has its roots in athletic design, it is primarily designed and optimized as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. For serious running or athletic performance, dedicated running shoes would be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size?

The Nike Air Max 95 generally runs true to size for most individuals. It is recommended to try them on if possible or refer to Nike's official size guide for a precise fit. This specific pair is UK 7.5.

What is the inspiration behind the Air Max 95's design?

The designer, Sergio Lozano, drew inspiration from human anatomy. The side panels represent muscle fibers, the lacing system resembles a ribcage, and the overall layered look is akin to the human body.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather and textile upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but the suede elements are susceptible to water damage. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the shoe's appearance and materials.

How often should I clean my Air Max 95s?

Regular, light cleaning after each wear can prevent dirt buildup. For deeper cleaning, assess based on usage, but aim for a thorough clean every few weeks or whenever they start to look dirty, paying attention to the different materials.

Troubleshooting

My shoes make a squeaking sound when I walk.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or moisture. Try removing the insole and cleaning both it and the inside of the shoe. If it persists, a sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can often reduce friction.

The white midsole is getting dirty easily.

The 'Big Bubble' area can attract dirt. Use a sneaker cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and a little water to form a paste. Apply it to the midsole with a brush, scrub gently, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

My suede portions look faded or stained.

For faded suede, use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can often lift marks. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and allow to air dry, then brush.

The laces come untied frequently.

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot.' You can also try replacing the laces with new ones that might have better grip.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Nike Air Max 95, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Leather Sections: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain its suppleness.
  3. Textile/Mesh Sections: Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean textile areas. Pat dry with a clean cloth.
  4. Suede Sections: Suede is delicate. Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage suede.
  5. Sole Cleaning: Use a brush and mild soap to clean the rubber outsole and midsole. Remove any trapped debris from the tread.
  6. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause material damage or warping.
  7. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
