FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure your foot length from the heel to the longest toe. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size for a comfortable fit.

What are the main materials used in the 'Cork Obsidian' version?

The upper features a combination of leather and cork materials, along with textile elements. The midsole is rubber with a full-length Max Air unit, and the outsole is also rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The Nike Air Max 97 SE is primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact sports or running.

How should I clean the cork parts of the shoe?

Gently wipe the cork with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the cork material. Allow to air dry naturally.

What is the significance of the Air Max 97 design?

The design is inspired by Japanese high-speed bullet trains and features signature wavy lines that create a ripple effect, representing fluid motion.

Where does the 'Cork Obsidian' colorway get its name?

The name likely refers to the blend of 'Cork' material used in the construction and 'Obsidian' as a key color in the palette, alongside other tones like Hasta and Thunder Blue.

What is the warranty period for Nike shoes?

Nike typically offers a limited warranty on its footwear against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details can usually be found on the official Nike website or the product packaging.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with thicker socks around the house to gently stretch the materials. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up, especially if your foot length is between sizes.

Color transfer from laces or upper

This can occasionally happen with new, dark-colored footwear. Wearing them in dry conditions initially can help. If it's a significant issue, consult Nike's official care guidelines or a professional shoe cleaner.

Reduced cushioning over time

The Max Air unit is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not overused for strenuous activities that could prematurely wear down the cushioning.

Squeaking noise

A squeaking noise can sometimes come from friction between parts of the shoe or from moisture. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe or where the tongue meets the laces.
