FAQs

How do I prevent denim color transfer?

To minimize color transfer, especially when new, avoid wearing these sneakers with light-colored socks or pants until they've been worn and air-dried a few times. You can also lightly spray them with a fabric protector designed for denim.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers traction, the denim and leather upper is not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and prevent water damage or staining.

What is the best way to clean the denim on these shoes?

For light dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized denim cleaner or a mild soap diluted in water. Apply with a soft cloth, gently scrub, and wipe clean. Always air dry.

Are these shoes true to size?

Nike Air Max 1 models generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly. We recommend trying them on or consulting a size chart if you are unsure.

How durable is the visible Air unit?

The visible Air unit is designed to be durable for everyday wear. While robust, it can be susceptible to punctures from sharp objects. Avoid walking on extremely sharp or abrasive surfaces to protect the Air unit.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to avoid any potential dye transfer from the denim (especially when new), it's advisable to wear socks that are a darker color or made of a thicker material. Standard athletic or casual socks work well.

Can I use a washing machine to clean them?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, stitching, and the integrity of the shoe. Always hand clean and air dry.

How do I maintain the vibrant color of the denim?

To preserve the denim's color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. When cleaning, use products specifically designed for colored denim and avoid harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Denim color appears faded or dull

Regularly clean with a denim-specific cleaner and avoid harsh detergents or excessive scrubbing that can strip dye.

White denim mudguard is easily soiled

Apply a protective spray suitable for textiles before first wear. Clean minor marks promptly with a mild soap and damp cloth.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction, or check if the insole is properly seated.

Leather accents feel stiff or look dry

Treat the leather components with a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer to restore suppleness and prevent cracking.

Care:

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your Air Max 1 '87 Aura:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe down denim surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized denim cleaner.
  2. Leather Care: Use a leather cleaner and conditioner on the brown leather accents to keep them supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn stains on the white denim mudguard, use a mild shoe cleaner and a soft brush, working in small circles.
  4. Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or put in a dryer.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading of the denim.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the denim and leather materials.
