FAQs
Is the Nike Air Max 97 true to size?
Generally, the Air Max 97 fits true to size, but some users prefer a half-size up if they have wider feet due to the narrow, curved silhouette.
How do I clean the metallic gold finish?
Use a soft microfiber cloth with lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or leather polishes that are not specifically designed for metallic finishes.
Can I wear these for running?
While based on performance designs, these are primarily categorized as lifestyle sneakers. They are suitable for light activity, but dedicated performance running shoes are recommended for intense exercise.
What does the 3M reflective material do?
The 3M material is a reflective coating that shines brightly when direct light hits the shoe, increasing visibility in low-light conditions.
Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water staining on the gold finish.
Troubleshooting
Reflective material appears dull
Clean the reflective strips with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust buildup which can obstruct light reflection.
Creasing in the leather
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the sneaker maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers remain in top condition, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the leather surface; avoid abrasive brushes that could scratch the metallic finish. For internal maintenance, remove the insoles occasionally to air out the shoes. Ensure your feet are measured correctly for an adult UK 10.5 fit, as the leather material provides a structured feel that does not stretch significantly over time.
