FAQs

What is the main difference in this Air Max 2017 model compared to previous versions?

The Nike Air Max 2017 'Black' features an updated design that removes the Flywire cables for increased flexibility and a more streamlined, sock-like fit achieved through molded foam and a Flymesh upper.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning for everyday wear and comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or casual athletic shoes. For serious or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the Flymesh upper?

You can clean the Flymesh upper using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Gently scrub away dirt and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

What is the original retail price of these shoes?

The Nike Air Max 2017 'Black' model originally retailed for $190.

Can I wear these shoes with orthotics or insoles?

Yes, the shoe's insole can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or alternative insoles. Ensure the replacement fits snugly within the shoe's base.

What year was this specific model released?

This specific model, the Nike Air Max 2017 'Black', was released in January 2017.

What does 'flex grooves' mean for the shoe's performance?

Flex grooves are designed into the outsole of the shoe to allow the sole to bend and flex more naturally with your foot's movement, enhancing comfort and promoting a smoother stride.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more personalized fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not excessively tight.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, break them in with short periods of wear initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Leather material showing wear

Clean the leather with a dedicated leather cleaner and apply a leather conditioner periodically to maintain its condition and prevent cracking.

Reduced cushioning over time

While Air Max units are durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing shoes that have been heavily worn for over a year or show significant signs of wear.
