FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Air Max 97 OG 'Atlantic Blue' is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities and may not provide the necessary support or durability for dedicated running.

How do I clean the reflective stripes?

Clean the reflective stripes gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaning solutions, as these can damage the reflective coating.

What does the 'OG' in the product name mean?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original Gangster' in sneaker culture, referring to a re-release of a classic design in its original colorway or form.

How does the 'Atlantic Blue' colorway differ from other Air Max 97 models?

The 'Atlantic Blue' colorway is characterized by its specific combination of blue hues, black, and reflective accents, differentiating it from other Air Max 97 variations which may feature different color schemes or materials.

What is the main benefit of the Air Max cushioning system?

The Air Max cushioning system uses pressurized air within a durable yet flexible unit to provide lightweight, responsive cushioning and impact protection.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials.

What is the sizing like for these trainers?

These trainers generally follow standard Nike sizing. It is recommended to refer to Nike's official size charts for accurate measurements or try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration of reflective stripes

Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. If discoloration is significant, it may be permanent.

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is normal for leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Specialized leather conditioners can help keep the leather supple.

Reduced cushioning over time

The Air Max cushioning is designed for durability but may naturally decrease with extensive use. Gentle cleaning of the shoe can help maintain its overall condition.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber sole offers traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Exercise caution when walking on wet surfaces.
