FAQs

What does the "Evolution of Icons" series signify?

The "Evolution of Icons" series celebrates Nike's legacy by reinterpreting classic designs with updated materials and details, often referencing past iconic models.

Are the Air Max units in the midsole functional?

Yes, the full-length visible Air Max unit provides cushioning and impact absorption for comfort during wear.

How do I clean the corduroy parts of the shoe?

Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid saturation.

What inspired the design of the Air Max 97?

The original Air Max 97 was inspired by Japanese high-speed trains, reflected in its sleek lines and wavy upper design. This SE version builds upon that with unique materials and thematic elements.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the sole

Ensure proper fit and avoid activities that cause excessive twisting or scuffing. Rotate use with other footwear if possible.

Discoloration of the corduroy material

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth as recommended.

Visible Air unit appears clouded

Minor cloudiness can occur with normal use. Ensure the Air unit is clean using a damp cloth. Significant internal damage is rare but may indicate a defect.
