FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Air Max 95 features running-inspired grip and Air cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for everyday wear and casual activities, not high-performance running.

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

The Nike Air Max 95 generally fits true to size. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting Nike's official size guide for specific measurements. Your standard UK adult shoe size should be appropriate.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Always follow the spot cleaning method outlined in the care instructions.

What are the 'Persian Violet' accents?

These are subtle purple-violet color details found on the lateral ankle collar Swoosh, the tongue signet, and some sidewall stitching, adding a distinctive touch to the all-black design.

How long do the Air units last?

With proper care and normal wear, the Nike Air units are designed to last for the lifetime of the shoe, providing consistent cushioning. Extreme conditions or misuse may affect their longevity.

Is the leather genuine?

The upper features a combination of both real and synthetic leather tooling, offering durability and a premium feel.

What does 'Big Bubble' mean?

'Big Bubble' refers to the original, larger visible Air units in the heel and forefoot, which provide enhanced cushioning and are a celebrated part of the Air Max 95's 30th-anniversary design.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel uncomfortable after long wear.

Ensure your laces are not too tight or too loose. The Air Max 95 provides substantial cushioning, but personal comfort can vary. Consider trying different insoles for personalized arch support if needed.

The shoes feel stiff at first.

The layered leather and synthetic upper may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with a little baby powder or cornstarch, then reinserting the insole.

Dirt is accumulating in the layered design.

Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently dislodge dirt from the crevices of the layered upper before wiping with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

  • Unique and iconic design inspired by human anatomy.

  • Versatile all-black colorway with subtle accents.

Cons

  • Layered leather upper may require specific cleaning/care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply lace up your new Nike Air Max 95s to your preferred snugness using the integrated lace loops. The round toe design offers ample room for comfort.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed for adult males (based on product attributes, though Air Max 95s are widely unisex). Sizing is standard UK footwear sizing. Ensure you select your correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Care

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and synthetic upper, gently wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material. For tougher spots, a soft brush can be used carefully.
  • Cleaning the Outsoles: Use a brush or old toothbrush with soap and water to remove dirt and grime from the rubber Waffle outsoles.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack or warp.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity and color.
  • Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets can also help.
