FAQs

What is the main inspiration for the 'Athletic Department' design?

The 'Athletic Department' design is inspired by classic varsity apparel and the original Air Max 1 silhouette, aiming to evoke nostalgic athletic vibes.

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?

While they feature Air Max cushioning for comfort, these sneakers are primarily designed as lifestyle footwear for casual wear, not for rigorous athletic training.

How should I clean the University Gold accents?

The University Gold accents, like the rest of the shoe, should be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve their color.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the Nike Air Max 1 Athletic Department is primarily made of leather, with additional overlays in complementary materials.

What does 'Light Bone' refer to in the color description?

'Light Bone' refers to the primary off-white or very pale beige color of the shoe's main leather sections.

How does the sizing run for this model?

The Nike Air Max 1 generally runs true to size. However, personal fit preferences can vary, and trying them on or consulting size charts is recommended.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. Extended exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, and the shoes should be dried thoroughly if they get wet.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Discoloration on light-colored areas

Light Bone and cream areas may show dirt easily. Clean promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a dedicated sneaker cleaner for tougher marks.

Sole separation

Minor separation at the edges can sometimes be addressed with a strong adhesive specifically designed for footwear. For significant separation, professional repair might be needed.
