FAQs

What material is the Nike Air Max 1 Athletic Department made of?

The primary material for the upper is leather, with additional fabric and synthetic overlays.

How do I clean the gold accents on the sole?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the gold areas, and immediately dry with a clean cloth to prevent any potential damage or discoloration.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While they are inspired by athletic designs and feature Air cushioning, these are primarily lifestyle sneakers intended for casual wear, not high-performance sports.

What does 'Athletic Department' signify for this shoe?

The 'Athletic Department' theme refers to the design's nod to vintage school athletic apparel and branding, giving it a nostalgic, varsity-inspired aesthetic.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these leather shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the leather and lead to staining, particularly on the lighter colors.

What sizes are available?

The Nike Air Max 1 Athletic Department comes in various adult sizes. Please refer to the product listing for currently available sizes.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Discoloration on leather

For light discoloration, try a specialized leather cleaner. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaning service. Prevention is key; avoid wearing in heavily soiled environments.

Sole separation

Minor separation can sometimes be addressed with a strong adhesive designed for footwear. For significant separation, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As footwear, the Nike Air Max 1 requires no setup. It is compatible with standard sock wear for adults.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a clean cloth.
  2. Cleaning Overlays and Sole: A mixture of mild soap and water can be used with a soft brush or cloth to clean the fabric overlays and the rubber sole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and light.
