FAQs

Is the Nike Air Max 97 true to size?

Most users find the Air Max 97 to fit true to size, though the narrow ripple design may feel snug for those with wider feet.

  • Full-length cushioning for superior comfort
  • High-quality leather materials
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for casual wear

Cons

  • Metallic finish can show scuffs easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 97s last, avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces that could scratch the metallic finish. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the ripples and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Because this model uses specific leather materials, avoid machine washing or drying. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking.
