Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air Max 1 '87 trainers are designed for adults seeking timeless style with modern comfort. Their key benefit lies in the blend of iconic design and cushioned support, making them ideal for everyday wear. A potential caveat is their heritage as a running shoe, which might influence the specific fit and feel for non-athletic purposes. This iconic sneaker from 1987 features a visible Max Air unit for responsive cushioning, a durable rubber Waffle outsole for traction, and a mix of synthetic leather, suede, and mesh for a layered, lasting look. The padded, low-cut collar enhances comfort.

FAQs
Are the Nike Air Max 1 '87 suitable for running?
While the Air Max 1 originated as a running shoe, its design has evolved. They offer comfortable cushioning for everyday wear and light activities, but for intense or performance-focused running, modern specialized running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Nike or the retailer. The UK 7 size is specified for this product variant. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
What is the primary color of this shoe?
The primary colors are Photon Dust and Wolf Grey, with accents of White and Smoke Grey, creating a versatile grey palette.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The mixed materials offer some protection, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. The suede components are particularly sensitive to moisture. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
What does the '87 in the name signify?
The '87 signifies the original release year of the Nike Air Max 1, highlighting its status as a foundational design in the Air Max lineage.
How durable is the rubber Waffle outsole?
The Waffle outsole is known for its durability and provides reliable traction for everyday use and walking.
What are the main materials used in the upper?
The upper is constructed using a blend of synthetic leather, suede, and mesh, offering a combination of durability, texture, and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning over time
The foam midsole and Air unit are designed for long-term wear, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions can help prolong performance.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The Waffle outsole provides good traction, but like all rubber soles, performance can be affected by extremely wet or slippery conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean.
Discoloration on suede or mesh areas
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush for suede areas. For mesh and synthetic leather, a damp cloth with mild soap is recommended. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
