FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer great cushioning, the Air Max 97 SE is designed primarily as a lifestyle and fashion trainer rather than a high-mileage performance running shoe.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather or using harsh chemicals that could strip the dye.
Do these run true to size?
Generally, the Air Max 97 series fits true to size, but the leather construction may feel more snug initially than textile versions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or replace them for extra comfort.
What is the primary material used?
This specific SE model utilizes high-quality leather for the upper construction to ensure durability and a sleek aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning scuffs on colored leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner compatible with dyed surfaces, testing a small, inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound during walking
Ensure the insoles are properly seated and dry; moisture trapped under the insole often causes temporary noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Air Max 97 SE First Use remains in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish and structural integrity. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources. When styling, the bold red tone works well with neutral palettes like black, white, or denim to keep the sneakers as the focal point of your outfit.
