FAQs
Are the Nike Air Max 97 suitable for running?
While the Air Max 97 offers excellent cushioning for walking and daily wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not for high-impact athletic performance like running. For dedicated running, consider shoes specifically engineered for that purpose.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The Nike Air Max 97 follows standard UK sizing. Ensure there is a small amount of space at the toe (about a thumb's width) and that the heel does not slip. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger, can provide a more accurate fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather and textile upper offers some protection, but these are not waterproof shoes. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles, as moisture can damage the materials and affect comfort. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get damp.
How often should I clean my Air Max 97s?
Regular spot cleaning after wear can help maintain their appearance. A more thorough cleaning should be done as needed, depending on usage and how dirty they become. Aim for a light clean after every few wears and a deeper clean monthly if worn frequently.
What does the 'Air Max' technology do?
Air Max technology features a pressurized air unit embedded in the midsole of the shoe. This unit provides superior cushioning, shock absorption, and support, enhancing comfort during wear.
Are there other color options available?
The Nike Air Max 97 comes in a wide variety of colorways and material combinations. This guide focuses on the Black and Red model in UK size 9.5, but other options may be available through different product listings or retailers.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal parts or moisture. Ensure the insoles are dry and properly seated. Sometimes, powdering the inside of the shoe can help.
Discomfort or pressure points.
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. The shoes may need a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Material scuffs or marks.
For leather components, use a leather conditioner or cleaner. For minor scuffs on other materials, a damp cloth might suffice. For persistent marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Reflective elements losing reflectivity.
Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals or excessive scrubbing on the reflective piping, as this can degrade the material. Gently wipe with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility:
The Nike Air Max 97 trainers are designed for general adult male footwear sizing. They are compatible with casual and athleisure attire.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and textile surfaces. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: A damp cloth or soft brush is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand-wash them separately with mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before re-inserting.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the shape of the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, away from direct sunlight.
