FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The Nike Air Max 270 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with targeted support and cushioning are recommended.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the Nike sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible. They are designed for a standard adult fit, but personal preference for tightness or looseness can vary.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the mesh and the Air unit. Hand wash gently as per the care instructions.

What is the main difference between the Air Max 270 and other Air Max models?

How durable is the mesh upper?

The mesh upper is designed for breathability and flexibility. While reasonably durable for everyday wear, it should be cared for to prevent snagging or excessive abrasion.

What does 'Summer Gradient' refer to?

'Summer Gradient' refers to the specific colorway, which features a transition of colors, typically from white and fading into brighter or distinct colors, evoking a summery feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the laces need to be adjusted for a wider fit.

Discomfort in the heel area

The Air Max 270 features a distinct heel design. Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure socks are adequate to prevent rubbing.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the mesh.

Air unit appears cloudy

This is a normal characteristic of the visible Air unit and does not affect performance. Clean gently with a damp cloth.
