FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Air Max 97 generally fits true to your standard UK size.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature Air cushioning, these are considered lifestyle trainers and are not specifically engineered for high-performance long-distance running.
How do I remove scuffs from the white parts of the sole?
A standard melamine sponge (magic eraser) or a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution works well for cleaning white rubber midsoles.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant, but not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray to guard against light rain.
What should I do if the laces feel too short?
The provided laces are standard length. If they feel short, you can adjust the tension starting from the bottom eyelets to provide more slack.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Leather creasing is normal with wear. Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the laces fully from the eyelets near the tongue to allow for a wider opening during the break-in period.
Air unit looking cloudy or dirty
Clean the exterior surface of the Air unit with a soft microfiber cloth and a small amount of warm water.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made of leather, they are best suited for dry or light weather conditions to preserve the material.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the surface, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather panels. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading of the black dye.
- Compatibility: These UK 8 trainers are designed for adult males. Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; leather will soften slightly with use to contour to the shape of your foot.
