FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the Flyknit material offers a snug, sock-like fit that may feel different than leather sneakers.
Can I use these for trail running?
It is not recommended. The exposed air sole is designed for smooth, hard surfaces and can be punctured by sharp rocks or thorns found on trails.
How do I keep the grey fabric clean?
Spot clean with a mixture of mild detergent and water, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may discolor the fabric.
Is the VaporMax Air unit prone to popping?
While the technology is very durable, it is essentially a pressurized unit and should be protected from contact with sharp objects.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
The support is neutral, focusing more on impact protection and flexibility rather than rigid arch correction.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound while walking
This is often caused by moisture trapped under the insole; remove the insole and allow the shoe to dry completely.
Debris caught in the air bubbles
Gently use a blunt plastic tool to dislodge any small stones or grit from the grooves of the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Nike Air VaporMax features a precise fit, it is recommended to wear them with thin or medium-thickness performance socks to maintain the intended structure of the Flyknit upper. To care for your shoes, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the knit surface. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the adhesive and synthetic materials. Periodically inspect the air unit for embedded stones or debris and remove them promptly to ensure the integrity of the cushioning system.
