FAQs

What is the "Evolution of Icons" series?

The "Evolution of Icons" series is a special collection of Nike sneakers that pays tribute to and reimagines iconic shoes from Nike's past, often incorporating elements and colorways from historical releases.

What are the main materials used in this sneaker?

This particular model features an upper made of corduroy with leather overlays.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

While the Air Max units provide cushioning, the Nike Air Max 97 SE Evolution of Icons is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I clean the corduroy sections?

Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material.

What inspired the design of the Air Max 97?

The original Air Max 97 design, upon which this SE model is based, was inspired by Japanese Shinkansen (bullet) trains, reflected in its fluid lines and ribbing.

How can I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to Nike's official sizing chart for accurate measurements. Since these are trainers, consider if you prefer a snug fit or a bit more room, especially with the unique upper materials.

What do the rainbow colors in the Air unit represent?

The rainbow of colors within the visible Air Max units represents some of Nike's most iconic and historically significant colorways.

Is this a limited edition release?

Yes, the "Evolution of Icons" series, including this Air Max 97 SE, are special edition releases, which can affect availability and resale value.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on corduroy material

Minor creasing is natural with corduroy. Avoid excessive bending. If creases are significant, try stuffing the shoes with tissue paper to help maintain shape. Professional shoe restoration services may offer solutions for deep creases.

Visible Air unit appears cloudy or dirty

Clean the Air unit gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the material.

Discoloration on leather overlays

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently. Protect with a leather conditioner.

Reduced cushioning over time

The Air Max units are designed for long-lasting cushioning. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may indicate natural wear. For significant performance degradation, consider replacing the shoes.

Care Instructions:
