FAQs

Does this model fit true to size?

Yes, the Air Max 97 generally fits true to size, though the sleek profile can feel slightly snug in the toe box for those with wider feet.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, it is highly recommended to clean these sneakers by hand, as machine washing can damage the leather finish and the integrity of the Air Max unit.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While the Air Max 97 was originally a performance shoe, modern technology has advanced significantly; these are best used as lifestyle sneakers today.

What does 'OG QS' stand for?

OG stands for 'Original' referencing the classic colorway, and QS stands for 'Quickstrike,' indicating a limited, special release.

How do I deal with squeaking sounds?

Squeaking is often caused by moisture inside the shoe. Remove the insole to let the interior dry completely and ensure no debris is trapped under the liner.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on the metallic finish

Use a specialized sneaker leather cleaner and avoid heavy rubbing; handle with extra care during outdoor activities.

Reflective strips losing shine

Gently wipe the reflective areas with a slightly damp, soft cloth to remove dust buildup that may be dulling the refraction.

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless design aesthetic with significant historical appeal
  • Full-length cushioning offers superior impact protection
  • Reflective elements provide both style and utility
  • Durable leather upper construction for longevity

Cons

  • Metallic finish is susceptible to scuffs and scratches
  • Light colorway can be difficult to clean if stained
  • The sleek, low profile may feel narrow for some foot widths

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 97s remain in top condition, proper maintenance is essential.

  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth with mild soapy water to gently clean the leather overlays. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the metallic finish.
  • Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather sneakers to protect against elements, but test on a small area first to ensure it does not dull the reflective properties.
  • Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the metallic silver finish to fade or yellow over extended periods.
  • Compatibility: These sneakers feature a standard lace-up closure. If you prefer a different fit, you can swap for flat laces, though the original round laces are integral to the intended aesthetic.
