Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97s remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These sneakers generally follow standard Nike adult sizing; if you prefer a roomier fit, consider sizing up by a half size.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild soap solution to gently remove debris from the leather and mesh panels. Avoid using abrasive chemicals that may strip the metallic finish.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the Air unit from degrading or the leather from cracking.
- Maintenance: Use a leather conditioner sparingly to keep the material supple, and consider using shoe trees to maintain the original shape of the toe box when not in use.
