The Nike Air Max 97 South Beach is designed for adult sneaker enthusiasts who value a vibrant aesthetic and iconic streetwear heritage. Drawing inspiration from the classic LeBron 8, these shoes provide a bold style with their signature hot pink waves and Kinetic Green mesh accents on a clean white leather base.

FAQs
What is the inspiration behind this shoe?
The colourway is inspired by the legendary LeBron 8 South Beach edition.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature Air Max cushioning, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual use rather than technical performance running.
How should I clean the pink waves?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to gently wipe the material, avoiding harsh chemicals that might bleed the colour.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but the silhouette is somewhat narrow due to the Air Max 97 design.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the leather structure. Always opt for manual cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp melamine sponge to gently buff out surface-level scuffs.
Mesh panels appearing dull
Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water and lightly clean the mesh areas with a soft toothbrush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sneakers arrive ready for wear, but proper care is essential given the white base.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution to gently scrub the white leather sections. For the Kinetic Green mesh, use a damp cloth and dab rather than rub to prevent dirt from embedding deeper into the fabric.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white leather to yellow or the pink accents to fade over time.
- Compatibility: These fit standard sizing for adult men, but like many Air Max models, they have a streamlined profile. If you have wider feet, consider ensuring your specific UK size allows for adequate toe-box room.
