FAQs

How do I clean the denim on my Air Max 1 '87 Denim Aura?

Spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, which can damage the denim's color and texture. Always air dry completely.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

While the Air Max unit provides cushioning, the Nike Air Max 1 '87 Denim Aura is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. For high-performance running or sports, we recommend footwear specifically engineered for those activities.

Will the denim fade over time?

Like most denim products, the material on these shoes may naturally fade or show signs of wear over time, which can contribute to its unique character. Proper care, such as gentle cleaning and avoiding prolonged sun exposure, can help manage this.

What is 'visible Air' cushioning?

'Visible Air' refers to the transparent window in the midsole that showcases the Nike Air unit. This innovative cushioning technology provides lightweight, resilient padding for comfort and impact absorption.

How do I ensure I have the correct size?

The Nike Air Max 1 '87 Denim Aura is sized specifically for women. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Nike's sizing generally runs true to size, but individual preferences may vary.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While these shoes can withstand light moisture, the denim material is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can saturate the denim and potentially cause discomfort or damage. Consider using a water-repellent spray designed for textiles for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Denim appears dirty or stained.

Gently spot clean with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid vigorous scrubbing, which can damage the denim. Air dry completely.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are adjusted properly. If new, allow for a brief break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider using thinner socks or verifying correct sizing.

Soles feel slippery or lack grip.

Clean the outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Check for excessive wear on the waffle lugs, which may indicate the need for replacement if performance is critical.

Creasing appears on the denim upper.

Creasing is a natural part of wear for denim materials. To minimize, store shoes with shoe trees when not in use and avoid tight lacing that might put excessive stress on the vamp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started

Simply lace up your Nike Air Max 1 '87 Denim Aura sneakers and adjust the brown laces for a secure and comfortable fit. The exposed foam tongue offers a unique look and soft feel against the foot.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed for casual, everyday fashion. They are compatible with a wide array of casual apparel and are perfect for adding a stylish touch to your daily wardrobe. They are not specifically designed for high-performance athletic activities, where specialized footwear would be more appropriate.

Product Care

Proper care will help maintain the unique denim appearance of your Air Max 1 '87. Follow these guidelines:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or stains, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Denim Specific Care: Due to the varying denim materials, avoid soaking the entire shoe. Over-washing or aggressive scrubbing can alter the denim's texture and color.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff them with paper towels or shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help prevent creasing and maintain the shoe's silhouette.
  5. Protection: Consider using a sneaker protectant spray designed for textiles, which can help repel water and stains, especially on the denim surfaces. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
