FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Nike Air Max 90 generally fits true to size for most adult men.

Can I use these for running?

While based on a running silhouette, the Air Max 90 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-performance running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaning product if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the primary material?

These trainers are constructed with a durable leather upper.

Does the visible Air unit require maintenance?

No, the Air unit is sealed and requires no maintenance other than keeping it clean from external debris.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

The leather upper will relax with consistent wear. Try wearing thinner socks during the first week to aid the break-in process.

Outsole collecting debris in the Waffle pattern

Use a dull, pointed tool or a firm brush to dislodge small stones or mud from the recesses of the Waffle pattern to maintain maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 90s last, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations during the first few days to allow the leather to naturally contour to your foot shape.
  • Cleaning: Since these are made from leather, use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt. Clean the surface with a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner. Avoid submerging them in water.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading.
  • Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual wear, such as denim, chinos, or athletic joggers.
