FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Air Max Plus typically offers a snug, athletic fit. If you prefer more room in the toe box, consider your standard Nike size or half a size up.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature Air Max cushioning, they are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and light activity rather than long-distance running.
How do I clean the copper finish?
Use only a soft, slightly damp cloth or specialized sneaker cleaner. Do not scrub aggressively, as this can degrade the metallic finish.
Does the pink Swoosh fade?
The Swoosh is integrated into the design. Avoid abrasive surfaces to keep the color vibrant and prevent peeling.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While durable, the metallic finish is best kept dry. If they get wet, air dry them naturally to prevent water spotting.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper uses a combination of synthetic materials designed to hold the metallic copper aesthetic and provide structural support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when the sneakers are not being worn to maintain the shape and minimize deep creases in the metallic upper.
Dirt buildup on the sole
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap; ensure the Air unit is free of debris to prevent structural damage.
Metallic finish losing luster
Gently wipe with a microfiber cloth to remove oxidation; avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers arrive factory-laced, minimal setup is required beyond adjusting the tension for your preferred fit. To ensure compatibility, verify your UK sizing (this model is a UK 8.5) as the Air Max Plus series generally offers a snug, supportive fit. For care, avoid machine washing, which can damage the metallic finish. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush with a gentle, non-abrasive cleaning solution to remove surface dirt. Dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent the metallic coating from cracking or fading.
