FAQs

What material is the Nike Air Max 1 Athletic Department Deep Royal Blue made of?

The shoe features a white mesh upper for breathability, with suede overlays on the forefoot, eye stays, side panel, and heel, and a dark blue suede mudguard.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

It utilizes the iconic visible Air unit embedded within the foam midsole, providing signature cushioning and comfort.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by athletic heritage, this model is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear due to its materials and construction.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by brushing once dry.

When was this shoe released?

The Nike Air Max 1 Athletic Department Deep Royal Blue was released on September 7, 2023.

What does the 'Athletic Department' name signify?

This designation often refers to Nike collections inspired by vintage athletic aesthetics, combining classic designs with updated materials and colorways.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The shoe has some water resistance due to the suede and mesh, but it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and ensure they are properly dried afterward.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the Nike size chart and compare with your foot measurements. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing or consider the return policy if purchased online.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, followed by brushing once dry.

Visible Air unit feels less cushioned

The cushioning may naturally reduce over extended periods of heavy use. Ensure the midsole is clean, as debris can sometimes affect the feel. For significant loss of cushioning, it may indicate the end of the shoe's optimal lifespan.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for traction, performance on extremely wet surfaces can be limited. Exercise caution in such conditions.
