FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Nike Air Max 97 generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit, some users prefer a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather and compromise the integrity of the air cushioning unit. Stick to manual hand cleaning.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather upper provides some resistance, but it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective spray.

What is the primary material used?

These trainers are primarily constructed with high-quality leather for the upper, supported by a rubber outsole.

Are these suitable for running?

While they feature Air cushioning, they are primarily categorized as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for serious long-distance running.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on the leather upper

Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of white leather polish to buff out minor marks.

Air unit seems cloudy

This is often surface dust. Wipe the clear plastic air unit with a microfiber cloth and a drop of water to restore clarity.

Creasing at the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with leather trainers. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 97s remain in top condition, proper care is essential, especially given the white leather finish.

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt immediately after wearing. For deeper stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner applied with a damp cloth.
  2. Moisture Protection: Applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray can help prevent environmental damage.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing over time.
  4. Fit: These trainers are standard adult sizes; ensure your UK size of 8.5 is confirmed before long-distance walking to avoid friction.
