FAQs

Are these Nike Air Max 95s suitable for running?

While the Air Max 95 features 'running-inspired grip' and advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. For serious running or athletic performance, dedicated running shoes would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the mixed material upper of the shoe?

For mesh, use a soft brush with a mild soap-and-water solution. For leather and synthetic leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What does 'Big Bubble' Air mean?

'Big Bubble' refers to the larger, more prominent visible Air units in the midsole, particularly a nod to the original design from 30 years ago. These units provide enhanced cushioning and comfort.

Is the sizing true to my usual UK shoe size?

Nike Air Max 95s generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK foot size. If you are unsure, referring to Nike's official size chart is always a good idea.

Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?

The leather and synthetic leather elements offer some water resistance, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. For optimal longevity and appearance, try to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions, or consider applying a water-repellent spray.

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is crafted from a combination of black mesh, real leather, and synthetic leather tooling, offering a durable and distinctively layered look.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty quickly, especially the mesh sections.

Regular gentle cleaning is key. Use a soft brush and mild soap solution for mesh. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for sneakers to help repel dirt and water.

The fit feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure you've selected the correct UK size. If the size is correct, try adjusting the lacing. For a tighter fit, lace them up more snugly; for a looser feel, try alternative lacing patterns that skip eyelets or use looser knots.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often, a squeak comes from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is separating, though this is rare in new shoes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort from "Big Bubble" Air cushioning.
  • Iconic and distinctive human anatomy-inspired design.
  • Durable construction with a blend of premium materials.
  • Reliable traction suitable for everyday urban environments.
  • Classic black colorway with 'Persian Violet' accents offers versatile styling.

Cons

  • Mixed material upper (leather, synthetic leather, mesh) requires regular cleaning to maintain appearance.
  • The layered design can feel slightly bulkier compared to minimalist sneaker styles.
  • Less breathable than sneakers with full mesh uppers, especially in warmer conditions.
  • Not optimized for high-performance athletic activities, despite running-inspired elements.
  • May require breaking in period for optimal comfort due to layered upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply unbox your Nike Air Max 95, loosen the laces, and slide your feet in. Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. No complex setup is required for these lifestyle sneakers.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed for adult males and are generally true to size. Ensure you select your standard UK foot size for the best fit (e.g., UK 10.5 for this variant). They are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Air Max 95s:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For mesh sections, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap-and-water solution to gently scrub away dirt. For leather and synthetic leather parts, wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mixed materials can be used.
  2. Laces: Remove laces before washing and clean them separately by hand with soap and water.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid using washing machines or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.
