Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Dark Smoke Grey colorway special?
▾
The Dark Smoke Grey colorway uses a muted grey palette that blends charcoal suede with subtle mesh accents. This understated hue is designed to complement a wide range of outfits, from streetwear to smart-casual, while preserving the classic silhouette’s visual impact. It offers a low-key alternative to brighter releases.
Does the shoe provide enough support for running?
▾
While the Air Max 1 was originally engineered as a running shoe, the Premium version focuses on lifestyle comfort rather than high-intensity performance. The Max Air unit supplies responsive cushioning, but the shoe lacks advanced stability features found in dedicated trainers, making it suitable for light jogs or casual runs.
How should I clean the suede-leather upper?
▾
To clean the suede-leather upper, start by brushing off surface dust with a soft suede brush. For stains, apply a small amount of a dedicated suede cleaner and let it dry naturally. Avoid soaking the material; instead, use a damp cloth for minor spots, and always let the shoe air-dry away from direct heat.
Is the Max Air unit still functional after years of use?
▾
The Max Air unit is a sealed air capsule that retains its cushioning properties for years when kept in good condition. Regular wear does not degrade the air pressure, but extreme temperatures or punctures can affect performance. For most users, the unit remains functional throughout the shoe’s typical lifespan.
Can I size up for a roomier fit?
▾
Sizing up can provide a slightly roomier toe box, but the Air Max 1 Premium already offers a relaxed fit thanks to its padded collar. If you have a wider foot, consider going half a size larger; otherwise, the standard size should deliver a snug yet comfortable feel.
