FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While the Air Max 97 was originally a performance runner, modern versions are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The Air Max 97 typically fits true to size. If you prefer a wider fit, consider going up half a size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the reflective coatings. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
What is the purpose of the reflective accents?
The reflective accents are designed to shine when light hits them, increasing visibility during nighttime activities.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Like most leather sneakers, they may feel slightly stiff initially but will soften and conform to your foot after a few wears.
Is the gold finish prone to peeling?
The metallic finish is durable under normal conditions, but heavy abrasion against rough surfaces should be avoided.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and reduce deep-set wrinkles.
Surface scuffs on the gold finish
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive brushes.
Dirt stuck in the wave panels
Use a soft-bristled brush or a cotton swab to delicately remove debris from the grooves without scratching the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from leather, avoid using harsh industrial cleaners that could strip the metallic sheen. Instead, wipe the surface gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth after use to remove surface dust. Keep them away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the leather or damage the adhesive bonds of the air unit. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree to maintain their iconic curved shape.
