FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While the Nike Air Max 1 provides excellent cushioning for comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for everyday wear and casual activities, not for high-performance running or intense sports. For athletic pursuits, Nike offers specialized performance footwear.
How do I choose the correct size?
This specific product is a UK size 7. For the most accurate fit, we recommend referring to Nike's official size chart and measuring your foot length. If possible, trying them on at a retailer is always the best option.
Can I wear my Air Max 1s in the rain?
The mesh, suede, and leather materials are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the materials and may lead to discoloration or premature wear. We advise wearing them in dry conditions or using a water-repellent spray for light moisture protection.
What materials are used in the upper of the shoe?
The upper of the Nike Air Max 1 features a blend of materials including breathable mesh for ventilation, soft suede overlays for texture and durability, and genuine leather accents for premium support and style.
How do I prevent my shoes from creasing?
Creasing is a natural part of shoe wear, especially with leather and suede. To minimize it, ensure you have the correct size to prevent excessive flexing. Using shoe trees when storing your shoes can also help maintain their shape and reduce creasing.
What does 'Visible Air Max Cushioning' mean?
Visible Air Max Cushioning refers to Nike's innovative technology where a pocket of pressurized gas (Air) is encapsulated within the midsole and is visible through a small window. This provides lightweight, responsive cushioning and impact absorption, enhancing comfort with every step.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you've selected the correct UK size. Foot shape varies, so try adjusting the lacing. A short break-in period can allow materials to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, re-verify your size.
Suede or leather appears dirty, stained, or scuffed.
For suede, use a dedicated suede brush and cleaner following product instructions. For leather, a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner can remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.
Visible Air Unit seems less responsive or squeaks.
The Air Unit is designed for long-lasting comfort. A slight squeak might occur with new shoes as materials settle. Ensure proper storage away from extreme temperatures. If cushioning significantly degrades, contact Nike support.
Shoes develop an odor.
Ensure shoes are fully air-dried after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help prevent odor buildup.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your Air Max 1s.
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For mesh areas, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth, dabbing gently. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and restore nap. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of leather cleaner.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the rubber outsole and midsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials or adhesives. Do not use a machine dryer.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your Nike Air Max 1s, as this can damage the materials and construction.
