FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Air Max 90 series generally fits true to size for most users. If you have particularly wide feet, some users prefer to go up a half-size for extra room.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature cushioning, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear. They are not recommended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.
How do I protect the leather?
Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather can help protect the surface from light moisture and dirt.
Is the Air unit prone to popping?
The Max Air unit is highly durable and designed for the stress of daily walking. Avoid stepping on sharp objects that could potentially puncture the air bag.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is normal with leather sneakers; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the shape and minimize deep set-in creases.
Difficulty cleaning dirt from the Waffle outsole
Use an old toothbrush dipped in warm water and mild detergent to scrub the crevices of the tread pattern.
Minor squeaking while walking
Ensure the insole is properly seated inside the shoe; if it persists, sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 90 Drift trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing the shoes, as this can degrade the material and adhesives. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Regarding compatibility, these shoes pair well with casual trousers, denim, or joggers, fitting into almost any streetwear collection. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the leather from cracking or the colors from fading.
