FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers. While comfortable for walking, they lack the technical stability required for professional running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Nike Air Max 1 generally fits true to size. If you have wider feet, you may find the leather upper slightly snug at first.
Can I use these in the rain?
While leather is naturally water-resistant, it is not waterproof. We recommend using a quality leather-safe water-repellent spray.
What is the City Connect series?
The City Connect series is a collaboration between Nike and MLB teams, featuring designs inspired by local culture and team history.
How should I store them to prevent yellowing?
Avoid storing them in high-humidity areas and keep them out of direct sunlight, which is the primary cause of yellowing on white soles and leather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
This is normal for leather sneakers; using a cedar shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirt stains on the white leather
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a microfiber cloth. Do not put these trainers in a washing machine as it can damage the glue and leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 1s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Like most leather trainers, these may feel slightly firm at first. Allow for a few days of light wear to let the materials contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For the leather, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner; avoid soaking the material.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider that the leather structure is supportive and does not stretch significantly.
