FAQs
What is Nike's Tuned Air technology?
Tuned Air technology is a Nike innovation that incorporates individually tuned 'pods' or 'hemispheres' within the Air units. These provide specific levels of cushioning and support in different areas of the foot, offering a highly responsive and stable feel.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Max Plus was originally designed with running in mind in 1998, modern running shoes often feature lighter materials and more advanced cushioning systems. These are now best suited for casual wear, walking, and light daily activities due to their comfort and support.
How do I properly clean the white technical mesh?
For the technical mesh, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap or sneaker cleaner). Gently scrub the affected areas, then wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
What materials are used in the construction?
The Nike Air Max Plus 'White' features a technical mesh upper for breathability and a synthetic toe guard for added durability and protection. The sole unit contains Nike's Tuned Air cushioning.
Is this model true to size?
Generally, the Nike Air Max Plus is considered to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If you are unsure, it is often recommended to try them on or consult a sizing chart specific to Nike Air Max models.
When was the Nike Air Max Plus first released?
The Nike Air Max Plus, designed by Sean McDowell, was first released in 1998, introducing the innovative Tuned Air technology to the market.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the synthetic toe guard offers some protection, the technical mesh upper is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to keep your feet dry and maintain the shoe's condition. A water-repellent spray can offer some added protection.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Allow for a short break-in period as materials may soften slightly with wear.
White upper is difficult to keep clean.
Clean stains immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized sneaker cleaner with a soft brush. Consider applying a protective spray before first wear to repel water and stains.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by air trapped in the sole or friction between components. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe. If the issue persists, inspect the sole for any loose parts.
Sole appears yellowed over time.
Yellowing is often a natural aging process for rubber and plastic components, especially on white shoes. Store shoes in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to slow this process. Specialized 'sole de-yellowing' products are available but use with caution.

Setup: Simply lace them up to your desired tightness. Ensure a comfortable fit that allows for natural foot movement without excessive rubbing. Experiment with different lacing patterns for personalized comfort and style. Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for adult males (based on original attributes) but are often worn by anyone who appreciates their style and comfort. They pair well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, track pants, and athleisure wear. They are suitable for daily commuting, casual outings, and light recreational activities. Care: To maintain the pristine white appearance of your Nike Air Max Plus, regular cleaning is recommended. Gently wipe the technical mesh upper and synthetic toe guard with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the materials and structure of the shoe. Allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent yellowing or material degradation.
