Are Nike Air Max good for walking?
Yes. In fact, Nike Air Max shoes are great for a variety of different exercises. If you’re looking for an all-rounder shoe that you can wear for extended walks or pumping weights at the gym, the Nike Air Max range has a variety of comfortable options for men, women and children alike.
However, we wouldn’t suggest them as running shoes — though they might be fine for the occasional jog, there are other Nike shoes that are better suited as dedicated runners.
Can you wash Nike Air Max shoes in the washer?
No, we don’t suggest that you clean your Nike Air Max shoes or their shoelaces in a washing machine. They contain plastic and synthetic components which may be damaged by being run through a washing machine or dryer. However, regular spot cleaning can help extend the life of your Nike Air Max sneakers.
So, how to clean Nike Air Max shoes, then? We suggest using a soft-bristled shoe brush in combination with a mild cleaning solution. They should then be left in a place to dry, though not in direct sunlight — this can cause both fading and potentially warp their shape.
Shoelaces can be cleaned by removing them from your shoes, then washing them in a bowl or bucket of water and a mild detergent mix. Hang them out to dry afterwards.
Do Nike Air Max run small?
Nike Air shoes — and in fact, the Nike range in general — are well-known for providing true-to-size and consistent fits. So you don’t need to worry about them running small; your usual shoe size should carry across when you purchase a pair of Air Max shoes.
How can I style my Nike Air Max?
One of the great advantages of the Air Max range is its versatility. The Air Max 90 (available for men, women and children) captures a classic, chunky 90s sneaker look, making it perfect for the gym or invoking a retro streetwear style. For the fellas, you might want to consider matching athletic gear — oversized tees, and trackpants, or a matching ensemble of sweats with a zip-up hoodie.
For the ladies, there’s always the option of wearing your Air Max pumps to add a touch of edge to an ultra-femme vibe — cute dresses, short skirts and camisole tops are all excellent choices to pair with your Nike sneakers.
By contrast, the Nike Air Max 270 acts as something of an update — there’s still plenty of heft, but with a more modern sneaker vibe. So whether you’re a man, woman or child, you can still adopt a similar look as with the 90s — you’ll just be adding a more contemporary feel and vibe to your overall aesthetic.
