Nike Air Max 97 - Black - UK 9

While the full-length Air cushioning provides comfort, the Air Max 97 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. For dedicated running, Nike offers specialized running shoe models with features optimized for performance and injury prevention.

Gently wipe the reflective piping with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch or damage the reflective material.

The design of the Nike Air Max 97 is inspired by Japanese bullet trains, particularly their sleek lines and speed, as well as the ripples created by dropping a stone into water.

The shoes are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended as it can affect the materials and comfort. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

The Nike Air Max 97 is available in a range of adult sizes. This guide specifically references UK 9, but other sizes are available.

The Air Max 97 generally fits true to size for most users. However, if you have wider feet, you might consider trying a half-size up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you prefer to wear thicker socks.

Loosen the laces, especially over the midfoot, and re-tie them to allow for more room. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thinner socks if the fit is slightly snug.

This is often a cosmetic change due to normal wear and exposure. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Significant discoloration may be permanent.

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent premature wear.

The squeak may come from moisture trapped between layers or friction. Try drying the shoes thoroughly. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
