FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While these feature advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual use and walking rather than high-impact long-distance running.
How do I clean the Flyknit fabric?
Spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and water using a soft cloth, then allow to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
Is the sole durable on rough terrain?
The VaporMax sole is designed for urban environments. It is best to avoid sharp rocks or jagged surfaces that could puncture the translucent air unit.
Does the size fit true to standard Nike measurements?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard size, but the Flyknit upper offers a snug, sock-like feel that may feel different from traditional leather or mesh trainers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the agitation and heat can damage the Flyknit fibers and the air cushioning unit.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt inside the translucent sole unit
The sole is sealed, so you cannot clean the inside. Avoid walking through deep mud or liquid spills to prevent staining the interior components.
Flyknit upper feels too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thin athletic socks. If discomfort persists, consider loosening the laces significantly to allow the knit to expand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Air VaporMax trainers, it is important to treat them with care. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the Flyknit material after each use. If the shoes become wet, avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, as this can damage the structural integrity of the air unit and the knit fibers; instead, let them air dry in a well-ventilated area. For stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing aggressively. Check your sizing carefully, as the Flyknit material provides a snug, performance-oriented fit.
