FAQs

Is the Nike Air Max 97 true to size?

Most users find the Air Max 97 fits true to size, though the streamlined design may feel slightly snug for those with wider feet.

Can I use these shoes for running?

While these feature responsive cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers rather than high-performance running shoes.

How do I clean the mesh and leather combo?

Use a soft brush for the mesh areas and a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather sections, drying them naturally away from heat sources.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is crafted from high-quality leather, providing both durability and a premium aesthetic.

Are the Air units prone to popping?

The Air units are highly durable and designed to withstand standard walking and lifestyle activities, provided they are not punctured by sharp objects.

Does the white colourway yellow over time?

Like all white footwear, exposure to UV light and environmental elements can cause slight discolouration over time, so proper storage is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and prevent deep crease formation.

Visible dirt on the white surface

Wipe with a damp cloth immediately after exposure to mud; for deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaning solution.

Squeaking during walking

Check the interior for debris or ensure the insole is seated flat; moisture under the insole can also cause temporary noise.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, timeless design inspired by Japanese rail aesthetics
  • Full-length cushioning offers excellent support for extended wear
  • Durable construction materials provide long-term reliability
  • Versatile style that pairs well with both casual and athletic outfits

  • White colourway requires frequent cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 97s last, begin by wearing them for short periods to allow the leather upper to conform to your foot shape. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to address dirt on the leather panels, avoiding harsh chemicals that may discolour the white finish. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the materials. Periodically check the outsole to remove pebbles or debris trapped in the Air cushioning channels.
