FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Max 97 was originally inspired by performance, this version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear.
How should I clean the white or red accents?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, carefully dabbing the area rather than scrubbing.
Does the reflective material require batteries?
No, the reflective strips are passive material that reflects ambient light back to the source; they do not require any power.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, most users find that the Air Max 97 fits true to size, though the narrow design of the shoe may feel snug for some users.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the materials are durable, the mesh allows water to pass through. It is best to avoid heavy rain to keep your feet dry and protect the internal cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe area
Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain the original shape of the upper.
Dirt stuck in mesh underlays
Use a soft toothbrush to gently dislodge debris; do not use harsh chemicals or stiff brushes that could tear the fabric.
Reflective strips becoming dull
Wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth; do not scrub with abrasive cleaners which can strip the reflective coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your Air Max 97s will keep them looking new. To maintain the mesh and reflective materials, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, lukewarm water, and mild soap. Ensure the shoes air-dry in a cool, shaded area, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators that can damage the cushioning unit. For fit, these are standard sizing for adult males; if you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, consider trying on both standard and half-size variants to ensure the mesh upper feels secure without pinching.
