FAQs
What materials are used in the Nike Air Max 97 OG 'Atlantic Blue'?
The sneaker features a combination of leather, nubuck on the mudguards, and mesh materials, along with a rubber sole and a translucent outsole.
How should I clean the nubuck parts of the shoe?
For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a nubuck cleaner sparingly and a damp cloth, then allow to air dry. Avoid excessive water.
Are the reflective stripes always visible?
No, the wave-like stripes are designed to be reflective, meaning they become highly visible when exposed to direct light, such as headlights or camera flashes.
What is the main benefit of the Air Max cushioning?
The full-length visible Air Max unit provides responsive cushioning, impact absorption, and comfort for all-day wear.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While the Air Max cushioning offers comfort, the Air Max 97 OG is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, not specifically for performance running.
How does the fit typically run?
The Nike Air Max 97 generally fits true to size for most individuals. However, if you have wide feet, you might consider trying them on or opting for a half-size up for a more comfortable fit.
What do the anniversaries mentioned refer to?
This release celebrates the 35th anniversary of the Nike Air Max technology and the 25th anniversary of the Air Max 97 silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern or tension. There are various lacing techniques available online to customize fit and comfort.
Slight creasing on the leather or nubuck.
This is normal wear for leather and nubuck materials. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Reflective stripes are not visible.
The reflective stripes are designed to be seen under direct light sources. Ensure the shoes are exposed to sufficient light to activate the reflective properties.
Discoloration on the translucent sole.
The translucent sole may show dirt or yellowing over time. Clean gently with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
