FAQs

Are these suitable for everyday walking?

Yes, they provide excellent support for walking, though they are engineered with additional durability for skate performance.

Is the leather real or synthetic?

This model utilizes high-quality durable leather designed to handle the abrasive nature of skateboarding.

Does the Air Max unit pop during skating?

The shoe is built with reinforcement to protect the cushioning system, but as with all Air Max products, avoid sharp debris.

How does the sizing run?

They generally fit true to size. If you prefer a loose fit for skating, some users size up by half a size.

Can I use these for other sports?

While durable, they are specifically optimized for skateboarding and lifestyle use, not court sports like basketball.

How do I maintain the yellow accents?

Gently clean the yellow areas with a microfiber cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the color.

Troubleshooting

Excessive stiffness out of the box

Flex the sole manually and wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break in the leather.

Grip feels slippery

Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove factory dust or floor debris.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure of the leather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior durability due to double-stitch construction
  • Enhanced board feel compared to standard running models
  • Iconic aesthetic with a professional skate performance focus
  • Excellent traction provided by updated outsole lugs

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Heavier than minimal skate shoes due to the classic silhouette
  • Limited availability for specific sizes due to the limited edition nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 95 SB trainers last, keep these care tips in mind:

  1. Break-in: Wear the shoes casually for a few days before hitting the skate park to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather upper. For tougher scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner is recommended.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying and color fading.
  4. Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not overtightened to maintain circulation during long sessions. Use the eyelet reinforcements properly to avoid tearing.
