FAQs
Is the Air Max 97 suitable for running?
While it features performance cushioning, the Air Max 97 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than intense long-distance running.
How should I clean the white mesh?
Use a soft brush and a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution, focusing on gentle circular motions to avoid damaging the mesh fibers.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The internal construction provides moderate arch support suitable for most neutral foot types.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can compromise the glue and material integrity of the Air Max unit.
How does the sizing compare to other Nike models?
The Air Max 97 typically fits true to size, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to gently scrub the area; allow to air dry completely.
Cushioning feels less responsive
Check the outsole for embedded debris or stones that may be affecting the distribution of the Air Max unit.
Creasing near the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the trainer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97s last, proper care is essential. Since the upper consists largely of white mesh, treat the shoes with a water-repellent spray before initial wear to provide a barrier against minor spills. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush with a gentle soap solution; avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the materials. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning unit. Ensure you check the sizing fit carefully, as this model features a standard athletic silhouette that should provide a snug, secure fit around the midfoot.
