FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for intense gym workouts?
While comfortable, these are designed as lifestyle trainers; they are best suited for walking and casual activities rather than high-intensity training.
How does the sizing run?
The Air Max TL 2.5 generally fits true to size, but the leather construction may feel more snug than fabric-based runners.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the Air Max unit. Always clean by hand.
Is the Air unit visible?
Yes, the iconic Air Max design features visible air technology integrated into the midsole.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are made of leather which offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not categorized as waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too tight initially
Leather tends to soften over time; try wearing thinner socks during the first few uses to allow the material to expand naturally.
Visible scuffs on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max TL 2.5 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Because the upper is crafted from leather, we recommend wearing them for short intervals initially to allow the material to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper stains on the leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the leather as it may cause it to crack over time.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and leather drying.
- Compatibility: The neutral black and grey colourway pairs easily with denim, track pants, or casual chinos, making them a versatile staple for your wardrobe.
