FAQs

Is the Nike Air Max 97 true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size, but some users prefer a half-size up for a more relaxed fit in the toe box.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While originally a performance runner, modern Air Max 97s are intended primarily for lifestyle and casual use.

How do I keep the metallic finish bright?

Avoid direct contact with abrasive surfaces and clean them regularly with a soft cloth to prevent buildup of grime.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the Air unit. Always stick to hand-cleaning methods.

What is the 3M feature?

3M is a reflective material integrated into the shoe's design that glows when exposed to direct light at night.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

They offer some protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on metallic finish

Use a soft, damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent to gently buff the area. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Creasing in the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather and synthetic upper maintain its structural integrity.

Squeaking sound while walking

Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists, sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 97s remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the metallic finish over time. For cleaning, avoid harsh chemical solvents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush with a solution of mild soap and water to gently remove debris from the wave panels. To protect the reflective 3M material, avoid scrubbing those specific areas aggressively. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally at room temperature; do not use a direct heat source, as this may warp the sole components.
