FAQs
What is the primary material of the Nike Air Max 97?
The upper is typically a combination of leather and textile materials.
Are these suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning, the Air Max 97 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a dedicated running shoe.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart and consider the specific measurements for UK adult foot size. It's also helpful to read reviews regarding fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The materials offer some protection, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What inspired the design of the Air Max 97?
The design was inspired by Japanese bullet trains and water ripples.
How should I clean the Air Max 97?
Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution with a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
What does 'Black Anthracite Picante' refer to?
This refers to the colorway. 'Black' and 'Anthracite' are shades of black and dark grey, while 'Picante' might indicate subtle red accents or a specific finish.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Scuff marks on leather
Use a leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for black leather. For minor scuffs, a soft cloth and a bit of shoe polish can often help restore the finish.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good grip, exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
