FAQs
Are these true to size?
Yes, the Nike Air Max 97 typically fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up by half a size.
Can I run in these shoes?
While these feature performance-inspired cushioning, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than intense sports or long-distance running.
How do I maintain the color vibrancy?
Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays can cause the white base and vibrant accents to fade over time.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant, but not waterproof; using a repellent spray is recommended for protection against unexpected rain.
What is the best way to store these?
Store in a cool, dry place inside their original box or a breathable shoe bag to prevent dust buildup and moisture accumulation.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on white leather
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap to gently buff the area.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Midsole looks yellowed
Apply a dedicated midsole whitening treatment or professional sneaker cleaning solution designed for rubber surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97s last, break them in by wearing them for short periods during the first week to allow the leather to contour to your foot. Because of the white-dominant design, it is recommended to apply a sneaker-specific water and stain repellent spray immediately after unboxing. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush with a mild detergent solution to gently scrub the leather and fabric stripes. Always air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking or warping.
