FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While these feature Air-Sole technology, they are designed primarily as lifestyle fashion sneakers and are not recommended for long-distance running.

How should I clean the white leather?

Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a small amount of mild soap, wiping gently to avoid damaging the finish.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size, though the layered design may provide a snug fit initially.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality leather complemented by mesh accents.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if preferred.

Will the white leather turn yellow over time?

Like all white leather, it can yellow if exposed to excessive direct sunlight or improper cleaning agents; proper storage is key to preventing this.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on the leather upper

Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a mild leather-safe cleaner, then buff dry.

Debris trapped in the mesh sections

Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry toothbrush to carefully loosen and remove dust from the mesh fabric.

Sole appears squeaky on smooth surfaces

Clean the bottom of the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any buildup that may be causing the noise.

  • High-quality leather upper construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 97s remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white leather to yellow or the vibrant colors to fade. For daily care, wipe down the leather sections with a soft, damp cloth and use a gentle brush on the mesh areas to remove loose debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the synthetic mesh or the finish of the leather. Ensure you verify your specific UK size, as the Air Max 97 line generally fits true to size, though the layered design can feel snug initially for those with wider feet.
