FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard Nike sizing, though the unique ripple-effect design creates a snug, secure fit.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While the Air Max 97 was originally a performance shoe, modern technology has advanced; these are best suited for lifestyle and everyday casual use.
How do I keep the purple color looking vibrant?
Keep the shoes out of prolonged direct sunlight when not in use, as UV rays can cause fabric and synthetic materials to fade over time.
Are they waterproof?
No, the materials are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to prevent moisture from damaging the interior padding.
What is the best way to clean the visible Air unit?
Wipe the Air unit with a damp cloth after each use to prevent dust and grime from building up and obscuring the clear window.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the upper materials
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the material retain its shape.
Dirt stuck in ripple grooves
Use a soft toothbrush or an interdental brush to gently dislodge debris from the crevices.
Visible scuffs on the midsole
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of non-abrasive cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97s last, proper maintenance is essential.
- Fit: Ensure you verify your UK sizing (available in 5.5 and other standard increments) as the silhouette has a structured fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap with lukewarm water to clean the ripple grooves. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the vibrant purple materials.
