FAQs
Is the Nike Air Max 97 SE suitable for intense running?
While it features performance-inspired technology, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer rather than a professional-grade long-distance running shoe.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The Air Max 97 typically runs true to size, but the layered upper may feel snug; consider sizing up by a half size if you prefer extra room.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive; stick to manual hand cleaning.
What does 'SE' stand for in the product name?
SE stands for 'Special Edition', often indicating unique colorways or material variations compared to the standard model.
How often should I clean the leather?
It is recommended to spot clean as needed after exposure to dirt or rain to prevent grime from setting into the leather grain.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the leather upper
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Air unit seems cloudy or dusty
Wipe the exterior of the clear Air unit with a damp microfiber cloth to restore clarity.
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser across the bridge of the foot to provide more volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97 SE stays in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather footwear may feel stiff initially; wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the material to contour to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution on a cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals on the leather.
- Storage: Keep your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant orange color from fading.
- Weather Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect the material from environmental elements.
