FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While they feature Air Max cushioning, the Air Max 97 is primarily a lifestyle and casual sneaker rather than a dedicated performance running shoe.
How do I find the correct size?
The Nike Air Max 97 generally fits true to size. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size to ensure comfort.
Can I use leather conditioner on these?
Yes, a high-quality, clear leather conditioner can help prevent the material from drying out and cracking, but use it sparingly.
Does the red colour fade easily?
Like any dyed leather product, direct and prolonged exposure to UV light can cause fading; store them in a dark closet when not in use.
Are they waterproof?
They are water-resistant to an extent due to the leather, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence in leather footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Sole appears dusty or discolored
Use a soft-bristled brush or a magic eraser dampened with water to gently scrub the rubber midsole area.
Squeaking sounds while walking
This often occurs due to trapped moisture inside the shoe. Remove the insole and allow the shoe to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97 sneakers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Given the leather composition, avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the material and adhesive bonds. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the exterior surface. For stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied gently with a microfiber cloth. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the red colour to fade over time. Always ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, as the leather material has less stretch than synthetic fabric alternatives.
