Full details
The Nike Air Max 97 is designed for adult men who prioritize a blend of heritage design and modern comfort for daily wear. Its standout feature is the full-length Air cushioning system, which provides responsive support across the entire foot, though users should be aware that the signature wavy upper material requires consistent cleaning to maintain its sleek, monochromatic black aesthetic.

FAQs
Are Nike Air Max 97s true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you have wider feet, you may consider going up a half size.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While these were initially inspired by performance, the Air Max 97 is now classified as a lifestyle shoe. It is best suited for walking and daily wear rather than technical running.
How do I clean the black material without causing fading?
Stick to water and a very mild, colour-safe detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbers and never put them in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the Air unit.
Is the Air-Sole unit susceptible to popping?
The pressurized air unit is highly durable and designed to handle significant weight and impact; it is very resistant to punctures under normal daily use.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic materials and textiles designed to provide a balance of structure, breathability, and durability.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt in the wavy grooves of the upper
Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the debris out before wiping with a damp cloth.
Squeaking sound while walking
This is often caused by moisture trapped under the insole; remove the insole and allow both the shoe and insert to air dry completely.
Pros and Cons

- Classic 90s silhouette remains timeless

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97s last, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New pairs may feel slightly stiff out of the box; wear them for short walks over several days to allow the upper to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the wavy grooves of the upper. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals that might fade the black colour.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the midsole from yellowing or the material from becoming brittle.
- Compatibility: These shoes match best with tapered jeans, joggers, or athletic shorts, highlighting the distinct silhouette of the trainer.
