FAQs

What materials are the Nike Air Max 1 '87 Aura made from?

The upper is constructed from a unique mix of denim, suede elements, and other textile materials. The lining is textile, and the sole is rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

While comfortable and equipped with an Air Max unit for cushioning, these shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and street fashion, not for high-performance running or sports.

How do I determine the correct size?

This specific variant is a UK 6. Nike sizes are generally consistent, but it's always best to refer to Nike's official sizing chart or try them on if possible, especially if you have wider feet.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

Due to the denim and suede materials, it is advisable to avoid heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the materials and potentially cause color bleeding. Consider using a water-repellent spray for protection against light moisture.

What is the 'Air Max' unit?

The Air Max unit is a technology developed by Nike that involves a durable, flexible bag filled with pressurized air, providing lightweight cushioning and impact absorption. It's visible in the midsole of Air Max shoes.

How should I clean the beige laces?

Remove the laces and hand wash them with a mild soap and warm water. You can gently scrub them with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing your shoes.

Will the denim fade over time?

Like most denim products, prolonged exposure to sunlight and regular wear and cleaning may cause slight fading over time. This can contribute to a unique, worn-in character. Proper care, such as storing away from direct sun, can help preserve the original color.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or stains on denim/suede.

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit for multi-materials, focusing on separate brushes for suede and denim. For suede, a dedicated suede eraser can lift minor marks. Always air dry.

Shoes feel slightly tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size (UK 6 for this variant). Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a more relaxed fit. Wearing thinner socks can also help initially while the shoe breaks in.

Squeaking noise when walking.

Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Remove the insole, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside, then reinsert the insole. If it persists, the issue might be with the sole and could require professional assessment.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Nike Air Max 1 '87 Aura is straightforward:

  1. Unboxing: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets and tie them to your preferred tightness. The model features standard lace-up closure.
  3. First Wear: Try them on to confirm fit and comfort. Walk around briefly to allow the shoe to begin molding to your foot.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed for casual and street fashion wear. They pair well with:

  • Jeans, chinos, or cargo pants.
  • Shorts and skirts for a relaxed look.
  • T-shirts, hoodies, and light jackets.

While comfortable for walking, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.

Care

Proper care will preserve the unique materials and appearance of your Air Max 1 '87 Aura:

  • Cleaning: Due to the denim and suede, avoid machine washing. Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede/denim cleaner for stains. *Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first*.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe clean. For suede, use a suede eraser.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or tissue paper inside to maintain their shape. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for multi-material sneakers to protect against elements.
