FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

Most users find the Air Max 97 to fit true to size, though the streamlined construction can feel snug for those with wider feet.

Can I use these for intense sports?

While durable, these are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-impact athletic training.

How do I best protect the light colorway?

Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather and textiles can help create a protective barrier against dirt.

Does the full-length Air unit pop?

The Air Max unit is a robust, pressurized component engineered to withstand normal walking impact; it is highly resistant to punctures under standard use.

Can I machine wash my Air Max 97s?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather materials, adhesives, and the internal structure of the Air unit.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe maintain its shape and absorb excess moisture.

Difficulty cleaning the mesh or textured areas

Apply a mild soap solution with a soft-bristled toothbrush, using gentle circular motions, then dab dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

Surface scuffs on the midsole

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner to gently buff away scuff marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 97s last, it is recommended to break them in gradually by wearing them for shorter periods during the first week. For leather maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust after each use. If the sneakers encounter mud or heavy dirt, clean them immediately using a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to prevent stains from setting into the porous materials. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water or using harsh chemical solvents, as these can degrade the leather and the integrity of the air cushioning system. Always air-dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking or warping.
