FAQs

Are the Nike Air Max 97 'Black Anthracite Picante' suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning, the Air Max 97 is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle rather than high-performance running. For dedicated running, a specialized running shoe is recommended.

How do I clean the red accents on the shoe?

Use a soft, damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Gently wipe the red areas, being careful not to spread any colour onto the black sections. Rinse the cloth and wipe again with clean water, then air dry.

What does the '921826-018' number signify?

This is the product model or MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) for this specific Nike Air Max 97 colourway and size.

How does the sizing compare to other Nike shoes?

Nike Air Max 97 generally fits true to size. However, individual foot shapes can vary. It's recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The trainers are made from leather and synthetic materials which offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials.

What inspired the design of the Air Max 97?

The design was inspired by Japan's bullet trains and the concept of flowing water, particularly water ripples. This is reflected in the shoe's signature wavy lines.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try inserting talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe to absorb excess moisture, or ensure the shoe is completely dry.

Laces not staying tied

Ensure you are using a double knot for the laces. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has more grip.

Discomfort or rubbing

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure the correct size is being worn. Check for any internal seams or debris causing friction.

Excessive sweatiness

Wear moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the shoes are properly aired out after each use. Consider using antiperspirant foot spray.

  • Durable construction suitable for regular wear.
  • Versatile colourway that can complement various outfits.
  • Breathable materials contribute to foot comfort during wear.

Cons

  • The unique design might be too bold for minimalist style preferences.

  • Can be perceived as a fashion statement rather than purely athletic gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers. Ensure you select the correct UK size (10.5 in this specific model) for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are compatible with casual wear, streetwear, and athleisure outfits.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Suede/Leather: If the shoe has suede elements, use a suede brush. For leather, use a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
  • Lining: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally if they become wet. Do not use direct heat.
  • Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
