FAQs
What makes the Nike Air Max 97 OG design unique?
The design is inspired by Japanese bullet trains, featuring fluid, wave-like lines and a full-length visible Air Max cushioning unit. The reflective piping adds to its distinctive look.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning, the Air Max 97 OG is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. For intense running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to Nike's official size guide and compare with your UK shoe size. Measuring your foot length can provide the most accurate comparison. This specific model is a UK 11.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper combines conventional mesh with leather and features nubuck on the mudguards.
Do the reflective stripes work in the dark?
Yes, the luminous stripes are designed to reflect light, making them visible in low-light conditions when illuminated.
What is the significance of the 'OG' in the product name?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original Gangster' or 'Original', indicating that this release is a faithful reissue or representation of the original design of the Air Max 97.
How do I clean the translucent sole?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch or cloud the material. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Color transfer from reflective stripes
This can occasionally happen with new reflective materials. Avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored fabrics, especially when wet. Gentle cleaning as per care instructions may help.
Creasing on leather/nubuck upper
Creasing is natural with leather and nubuck. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air unit is designed for long-term durability, but cushioning may decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance.
