FAQs
What does the "Evolution of Icons" series represent?
The "Evolution of Icons" series pays tribute to Nike's most influential and iconic sneaker designs from its history, blending elements of past models into new releases.
How do I clean the corduroy material on the upper?
Gently brush off dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the material.
Are these shoes good for running?
While the Air Max 97 features cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic performance like dedicated running shoes.
What inspired the design of the Air Max 97?
The original Air Max 97 design was inspired by Japanese high-speed trains and the ripple effect of water. This SE version adds elements from other iconic Nike shoes.
What size should I get if I'm usually a UK 11.5?
It's recommended to consult Nike's official size chart or try on a pair if possible, as sizing can vary slightly between models. For a snugger fit, you might consider the 11.5, or for more room, the 12.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of corduroy with leather overlays, offering a unique texture and premium feel.
How many visible Air units are in the midsole?
The Air Max 97 features a full-length visible Air unit that runs the entire length of the midsole.
Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or tightness
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of tension across the eyelets. Adjust the lacing pattern if necessary for a more personalized fit.
Corduroy material appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the corduroy with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap. For persistent dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, then allow to air dry completely.
Visible Air unit appears cloudy or discolored
Clean the exterior of the Air unit with a damp cloth. Internal discoloration or cloudiness is typically a characteristic of the manufacturing process or age and is not usually removable.
Creasing on the leather overlays
Minor creasing is a natural part of wear. To minimize severe creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
