While they feature Nike Air cushioning, the Air Max 1 '87 Aura is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. For dedicated running, we recommend using performance running shoes specifically engineered for that purpose.
These are women's specific sizing. We recommend referring to Nike's official sizing chart and measuring your foot length. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially given the various material layers.
No, machine washing is not recommended. The varied denim and leather materials, along with the adhesive used in construction, can be damaged by machine washing. Please follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.
The upper is a mix of different shades of denim (midnight navy, faded blue, white) with brown stitching, and a brown leather tongue patch.
No, the visible Air unit is a sealed component and does not require any special maintenance or inflation. It is designed to provide durable cushioning throughout the life of the shoe.
While officially sized for women, anyone can wear them. However, men interested in purchasing should convert their standard shoe size to the equivalent women's size, which typically means going up 1.5 sizes (e.g., a men's UK 8 would be a women's UK 9.5).
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from the toe box to the ankle. You may need to experiment with different lacing patterns for a more customized fit. Check your size against Nike's official sizing chart, especially since this is a women's specific fit.
Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior or the outsole rubbing on certain surfaces. Try removing the insole and dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda. If the squeaking persists, it might be the outsole, which is usually normal on smooth floors.
For denim, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the leather tongue patch, use a specific leather cleaner. Avoid abrasive scrubbing. For deep stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
The visible Air unit is durable, but over time and extensive wear, cushioning may naturally compress. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended casual purpose, rather than high-impact sports, to prolong the life of the cushioning.
Your Nike Air Max 1 '87 Aura comes ready to wear. Simply unlace to loosen, slide your foot in, and lace up to your preferred snugness. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across your foot for optimal comfort and support.
These sneakers are designed for adult women and are styled to complement a wide range of casual and contemporary fashion. Their blue denim tones make them a versatile addition to wardrobes featuring neutrals, other blues, and even contrasting colors for a bolder look. They pair well with:
