FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Air Max TL 2.5 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual use, not for high-intensity running or athletic sports.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
The model fits true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for your standard Nike size based on your previous footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the Max Air unit. Always clean them by hand.
Is the leather genuine?
These trainers feature leather overlays combined with synthetic materials for durability and style.
What is the primary benefit of the Max Air unit?
The full-length Max Air unit provides consistent, lightweight cushioning that absorbs impact and reduces leg fatigue.
Do the shoes come with a pull tab?
Yes, they include a functional heel pull tab to assist with putting the shoes on.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Air unit squeaking
Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the sound persists, ensure there is no debris trapped under the insole.
Dirt trapped in the wavy layers
Use a soft toothbrush or a compressed air canister to carefully dislodge dirt from the narrow crevices between the synthetic layers.

Care Instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the wavy synthetic and leather panels.
- Stain Removal: For spot cleaning, dampen a microfiber cloth with mild soapy water and gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can compromise the adhesive and the Air unit.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
