FAQs

Is the Nike Air Max 1 'Design By Japan' true to size?

Yes, it generally fits true to size. If you have wider feet, you may prefer a half-size larger for comfort.

Can I use these shoes for running?

While based on running heritage, this specific model is designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than high-performance athletics.

How do I care for the leather upper?

Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.

Are these suitable for all weather conditions?

The leather upper provides some protection, but the shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain.

What is the inspiration behind this shoe?

It serves as a tribute to the classic late 1970s Nike Sting running shoe, blending that history with the legendary Air Max 1 design.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Surface dirt on the midsole

Wipe the foam midsole with a damp cloth or a melamine foam sponge for effective removal of scuffs and dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 1 sneakers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Fit Check: Ensure you select the correct size (UK 9.5 for this variant) for optimal comfort, as leather does not stretch significantly.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the material or using harsh chemical cleaners.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the unique green layers.
  • Moisture Protection: Applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray can help protect the upper from the elements during daily use.
