FAQs

Does the Nike Air Max 97 run true to size?

Most users find that the Air Max 97 fits true to size, though the leather upper has a slightly snug structure compared to mesh-based trainers.

Can I use these for running?

While the shoe features excellent cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe rather than a dedicated high-performance running trainer.

How do I protect the white leather from stains?

Applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather can help create a protective barrier against minor spills and dirt.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Air Max 97 has a tapered, aerodynamic design. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the fit somewhat narrow.

How long will the Air cushioning last?

The Air unit is highly durable and designed to last for the typical lifespan of the shoe, provided it is not punctured by sharp objects.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Difficulty cleaning scuffs on the white exterior

Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive white shoe cream.

Squeaking sound while walking

This is often caused by trapped moisture or debris under the removable insole; remove the insole, wipe the area clean, and allow it to air dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent long-term durability thanks to high-quality leather materials
  • Full-length cushioning provides superior shock absorption
  • Versatile design that pairs well with both casual and athletic outfits
  • Robust rubber outsole offers great traction for city walking

Cons

  • Leather material may feel stiff during the initial break-in phase
  • White colourways require frequent cleaning to maintain a pristine look
  • The sleek profile may feel narrow for individuals with very wide feet

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these sneakers are crafted with leather, they should be kept away from excessive moisture to prevent material damage. To clean your Air Max 97s, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning on white leather surfaces, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear and wipe away residue with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can compromise the structural integrity of the Air unit and the adhesive bonds. Always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to preserve the leather finish.
