Product Information

Full details

The Nike Air Max 1 Essential in Summit White and Black is designed for the adult male seeking a blend of iconic 1987 cushioning and modern design. Its key benefit is the responsive feel delivered by the foam midsole and Air Max unit, while a potential caveat for some users might be the specific color-blocking that may not suit all personal styles. This trainer features a clean colorway, a mix of mesh and suede overlays, a contrasting black mudguard, and a heritage waffle-patterned outsole, offering both style and reliable grip.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Air Max unit?

The Air Max unit in the heel provides superior cushioning and impact absorption, offering a comfortable feel with every step.

Are these suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning for walking and casual wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers and not for high-impact running.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with minimal water can be used carefully. Always let suede air dry.

What do the 'Essential' and 'Air Max' designations mean?

'Essential' typically refers to a more streamlined, classic version of a popular model. 'Air Max' denotes the inclusion of Nike's signature Air cushioning technology.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the mesh and suede materials are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their appearance and material integrity.

How does the sizing compare to other Nike shoes?

The Air Max 1 generally runs true to size for most customers. However, slight variations can occur. Checking customer reviews or trying them on if possible is recommended.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed with a combination of Summit White mesh for breathability and tan suede overlays for structure and style, along with a black synthetic leather mudguard.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions, or place a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole.

Discoloration on white mesh

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for mesh may be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Loose threads on stitching

Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors to prevent further unraveling.
