FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Nike Air Max 97 Futura generally fits true to size for an adult female, but those who prefer a looser fit or wear thicker socks may consider a half-size up.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature cushioning, these are designed as lifestyle trainers. They are better suited for walking and casual activities rather than dedicated distance running.
How do I clean the silver finish?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can strip the metallic finish.
Is the Air unit visible?
Yes, the full-length Air unit is a signature design element of the Air Max 97 and is visible through the midsole.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The leather upper provides some protection, but they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray if you plan on wearing them in light rain.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and reduce natural stress lines.
Scuffing on the silver finish
Apply a gentle leather-safe conditioner and buff lightly with a microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing pads.
Squeaking sound during walking
Ensure the insole is properly seated and dry; moisture trapped under the insole can often cause minor noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97 Futura trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and the air unit's integrity. Instead, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and use a mild leather cleaner for tougher stains. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources, like radiators, which can warp the leather and impact the adhesive bonds of the sole. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry area and use shoe trees to maintain their signature ripple-line shape.
