The upper is constructed with a base of white mesh for breathability, overlaid with suede in gray and deep royal blue for structure and style.

How is the cushioning system designed?

The shoe features a visible Air-Sole unit housed within a white foam midsole, providing responsive cushioning and shock absorption.

What is the outsole made of and what are its benefits?

The outsole is made of black rubber with lugs for traction. White vented rubber is also used to allow for midsole expansion.

When was this specific colorway released?

The Nike Air Max 1 Athletic Department Deep Royal Blue was released on September 7, 2023.

Can this shoe be used for running?

While the Air Max 1 offers good cushioning, it is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes rather than intense running activities.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water directly on the suede.

What does 'Athletic Department' signify?

This designation often refers to a collection or theme that draws inspiration from vintage athletic aesthetics and university styles.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you have referenced a Nike size chart. If the fit is still not ideal, consider trying on different sizes or consulting with a footwear specialist.

Suede appears discolored or stained

Gently brush away dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Mesh material feels stiff

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The mesh is designed to become more flexible with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these shoes are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel. Consider pairing them with jeans, shorts, or athletic wear.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning Mesh: Lightly dampen a soft cloth or use a mild soap solution to gently clean the mesh areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain color and material integrity. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
