Troubleshooting

Slight creasing on leather/suede

Minor creasing is normal with wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Discoloration on suede

Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. Clean suede areas with a dedicated suede cleaner and brush.

Reduced cushioning over time

The Air unit is designed for longevity, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme temperatures which can affect the air unit.

Shoe feels too narrow/wide

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The Air Max 1 generally offers a standard fit, but individual foot shapes vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For the leather and suede components, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive water. For mesh areas, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used cautiously. Ensure all cleaning agents are tested on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Suede Maintenance: Keep suede areas dry. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally and then brush gently with a suede brush to restore the nap.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ideally in a shoe tree or dust bag to maintain their shape and prevent material degradation. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
