FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature advanced cushioning, the Air Max 97 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe rather than a dedicated high-performance running sneaker.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers follow standard adult male sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical sneaker size, but keep in mind the leather construction may feel snug initially.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, you should never place your trainers in a dryer as the high heat can damage the adhesives and the Air Max cushioning unit.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Regular spot cleaning with a specialized sneaker cleaner or mild soap and water will keep the white material looking fresh.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the full-length Air unit combined with the structural design offers consistent support through the midfoot and arch.
Are these waterproof?
The mesh and leather construction is not waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Accumulated dirt on the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris before wiping with a damp cloth.
Squeaking sound while walking
Ensure the insoles are properly seated and remove any small pebbles trapped in the outsole tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are athletic trainers, no formal setup is required. To ensure a perfect fit, wear the socks you intend to pair with the shoes when testing them for size. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to gently wipe the leather and mesh surfaces. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could damage the air cushioning unit or warp the leather material.
