FAQs
What makes the 'Big Bubble' different from other Air Max 1s?
The 'Big Bubble' refers to an enlarged, longer visible Air unit in the heel, inspired by the original 1986 design. This provides a more pronounced cushioning experience and a distinct aesthetic compared to later versions with smaller Air units.
Are these suitable for running?
While the Air Max 1 '86 offers good cushioning for daily wear, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. For serious running, dedicated running shoes with specialized support and cushioning are recommended.

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the mesh and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and mesh materials from damage and staining.
What is the material of the overlays?
The overlays on this model are made from suede, providing a premium look and feel, alongside grey suede accents.
Does this shoe come in other colors?

The sole is made of rubber, offering durable traction and additional support.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort from 'Big Bubble'
Allow for a break-in period. The cushioning may adapt to your foot over time. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different Air Max model with a different Air unit size.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming worn
Replacement laces can be purchased from Nike or other footwear accessory retailers. Ensure to match the length and style for an authentic look.
Reduced cushioning over time
