FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Nike Air Max 97 features full-length Air Max cushioning, which is excellent for walking and everyday comfort. However, they are not specifically designed as running shoes for high-impact training. For dedicated running, consider a shoe engineered for that purpose.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length in centimeters or inches and compare it to Nike's official size chart, as sizing can vary between models and brands. The provided size is UK 8.5.

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The Air Max 97 typically uses a combination of leather and textile materials for its upper, providing both durability and breathability. The outsole is made of rubber.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the Air Max cushioning unit. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the inspiration behind the Air Max 97 design?

The design of the Air Max 97 was inspired by the ripple effect of a water drop and the sleek lines of Japanese high-speed bullet trains.

How does the 'Pink Cream' colorway differ from other Air Max 97 versions?

This specific variant features a light cream color on the underfoot Air Max units and sole, contrasted with pink and black accents on the outsole. Other versions may have different color blocking or primary colors.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight. Consider wearing thinner socks or allow the shoes to break in over a few wears.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the sole and insole, or the tongue rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and drying both thoroughly. If the noise persists, it may be related to the Air unit and could resolve with further wear.

Color transfer from the outsole to light socks

New outsoles, especially darker colors like black and pink, can sometimes transfer color. This is more common in wet conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry before wearing with light-colored socks. The color transfer typically reduces significantly after the shoes have been worn a few times.

Care Instructions:

  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
  • Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water.
