Product Information

Full details

The Nike Air Max 1 Essential Summit White Black is designed for adult males seeking a blend of iconic 1987 design with modern color blocking and comfort. Its key benefit is the responsive cushioning provided by the foam midsole and Air Max unit, offering all-day wearability. A potential caveat is that the suede overlays may require specific care to maintain their appearance. This updated silhouette features a clean Summit White mesh base, complemented by tan suede overlays and a contrasting black synthetic leather mudguard, all resting on a grippy waffle-patterned outsole.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Air Max unit?

The Air Max unit in the heel provides visible, responsive cushioning designed to absorb impact and enhance comfort during wear.

Are these suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning, the Air Max 1 Essential is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not optimized for high-impact running activities.

How do I clean the tan suede parts?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water directly on the suede as it can cause discoloration or matting.

What year was the original Air Max 1 released?

The original Air Max 1 model was released in 1987.

What material is the mudguard made of?

The mudguard that wraps around the base of the shoe is made of black synthetic leather.

Is this shoe designed for men or women?

This particular model and sizing (UK 14) is designed for adult males.

What is the outsole pattern for?

The outsole features a waffle-pattern, which is a heritage design element providing reliable traction and durability.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's internal components. Try wearing thicker socks or inserting a thin insole to see if the sound diminishes.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly, not too tight or too loose. If the issue persists, the shoe's fit may not be ideal for your foot shape. Consider trying them on before purchase if possible.

Suede discoloration or matting

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For minor stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Protect suede from excessive moisture.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Air Max 1 Essential:
