FAQs
Is the Nike Air Max 97 Unboxed suitable for running?
These shoes are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear; while they offer great comfort, they are not intended for high-intensity running.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
The Nike Air Max 97 generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up by a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and compromise the structural integrity of the air unit.
What is the inspiration behind this model?
This model draws inspiration from the aesthetics of shipping boxes, specifically highlighting unique tape-like details.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray.
How often should I clean the soles?
Regularly removing grit and mud from the waffle-patterned soles will help maintain grip and prevent dirt buildup.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape.
Loss of traction on smooth surfaces
Clean the waffle-patterned outsole with a brush and water to remove debris or pebbles lodged in the tread.
Scuff marks on the upper
Gently buff the area with a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel snug at first; wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can strip the protective finish from the leather.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading.
- Weather Protection: Consider using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you plan to wear these in damp conditions to protect the outer surface from moisture marks.
