Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air Max 2017 Black White trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a blend of performance and distinctive style. Their key benefit lies in the full-length visible Air-Max unit for superior cushioning and a responsive feel, coupled with a seamless FlyMesh upper for comfort and a sleek aesthetic. A potential caveat is that the gradient colorway, while visually striking, may not suit all preferences. This model features a full-length Air-Max unit, a Cushlon midsole for impact absorption, and a FlyMesh and synthetic upper with a unique color fade.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Nike Air Max 2017 Black White?
The primary advantage is the full-length visible Air-Max unit, which provides exceptional cushioning and a responsive feel for running and everyday wear.
Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the extensive cushioning from the full-length Air-Max unit and Cushlon midsole makes it well-suited for the demands of marathon running.
Can I wear these for trail running?
These shoes are best suited for road running and gym use. The outsole and upper materials are not designed for the rugged terrain and varied conditions of trail running.
How do I clean the gradient upper without damaging it?
Gently clean with a soft brush or cloth using cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can affect the color gradient and material integrity.
What does the color gradient signify?
The color gradient, fading from black to white, is a stylistic design element intended to provide a modern and visually appealing aesthetic.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan depends on usage frequency, mileage, and running surface. For regular runners, the cushioning and support typically start to diminish significantly after 300-500 miles.
Are these shoes available in other colors?
The Nike Air Max 2017 series was released in various colorways. This guide specifically details the Black White version.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between the midsole and outsole. Try to dry the shoes thoroughly. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The Air-Max unit and midsole foam naturally compress with use. This is normal wear and tear. For significantly reduced cushioning, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
Upper feels too tight or causes irritation
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thicker socks or allow a break-in period. The seamless FlyMesh upper should adapt to the foot over time, but a proper fit is crucial from the start.

Compatibility:
- Activity: Primarily designed for running (road, treadmill) and general fitness.
