FAQs

What makes this Air Max 90 release special?

This release is a revival of a 2002 colorway, known for its snakeskin textures and premium materials, updated with a reworked toe box to help prevent creasing.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of textile, synthetic materials, velvet, and features snakeskin textures.

How does the 'reworked toe box' feature benefit the wearer?

The reworked toe box is designed to minimize the formation of creases, helping the trainers maintain a cleaner appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces, especially over the forefoot and ankle. If still tight, consider that these may run true to size and a different size might be needed, or break them in with short periods of wear.

Creasing on the toe box

The reworked toe box is designed to minimize creasing. However, excessive bending can still cause marks. Ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Suede or velvet material discoloration

Avoid exposure to harsh sunlight or excessive moisture. Clean only with appropriate mild cleaners and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive materials.

Traction feels poor

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the outsole appears worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.

Care Instructions:

  • Upper Material: The textile and synthetic upper, especially the velvet and snakeskin elements, should be cleaned gently. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid soaking the material.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole and midsole with a damp cloth. Ensure they are dry before storing.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in a garment bag.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and color. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape and prevent creasing.
