FAQs

What is the 'Evolution of Icon' theme?

The 'Evolution of Icon' theme refers to a special collection that celebrates the history and development of iconic Nike designs, often incorporating elements from various legendary models.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning, the Air Max 97 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. For serious running, dedicated running shoes would offer more specialized support and performance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. They should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. Consult the Nike sizing chart if unsure.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, the Air unit, and the overall structure of the shoe.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper typically consists of synthetic materials and leather, designed for durability and a sleek appearance, reflecting the 'Evolution of Icon' design.

How long does the Air Max cushioning typically last?

The Air Max cushioning is designed for longevity, but its responsiveness may decrease over extended periods of heavy use, typically after several hundred miles of wear.

Does this model come in other colors?

While this specific 'Evolution of Icon' variant is featured in grey, the Air Max 97 model itself is available in a wide array of colorways across different releases.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight on first wear

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the shoes mold to your feet.

Laces come undone frequently

Try a double knot or a different lacing technique that provides more security. Ensure laces are not worn or frayed.

Visible Air unit appears deflated

The 'deflated' look is a design feature of the full-length visible Air unit and does not impact performance. Inspect for actual damage if concerned.

Discoloration on the grey upper

Wipe clean immediately with a damp cloth after any marks. For stubborn stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner suitable for synthetic materials.
