FAQs

Can I use the Air Max 97 for running?

While it features Air Max technology, the 97 is designed as a lifestyle shoe. It is better suited for walking and casual wear rather than intense athletic running.

How do I clean the mesh parts?

Use a soft brush to gently scrub the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoe completely.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK male sizing.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic finish from fading or cracking.

Can I use a protective spray?

A water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and mesh can be used, but test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.

Reflective material looking dull

Gently wipe with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove oily fingerprints or dust accumulation.

Squeaking sound while walking

Check if the insoles have shifted; remove them and re-seat them properly, or sprinkle a tiny amount of talcum powder beneath the insole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Signature high-speed train inspired aesthetic
  • Full-length cushioning for superior comfort
  • Reflective elements enhance visibility
  • Durable leather and mesh upper construction

Cons

  • Metallic finish requires careful handling to prevent scratches
  • Light-colored mesh may show dirt easily
  • Specific leather care required to maintain material integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 97s last, proper care is essential. Since the upper consists of leather, mesh, and reflective overlays, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and material finish. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution on a cloth, gently dabbing the leather areas. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach on the reflective surfaces to keep the finish intact. For sizing, these shoes generally follow standard UK male sizing, but consider wearing your preferred thickness of sports socks for the best fit.
