FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Nike Air Max 90 typically fits true to size, but the leather construction may feel slightly snug initially before breaking in.

Can I use these for running?

While originally designed as a running shoe, current technology has surpassed the 90's capabilities. They are best suited for lifestyle and casual walking.

How do I clean the white sections of the sole?

Use a soft brush with a mild soap solution and lukewarm water to gently scrub the Waffle sole, then wipe dry with a towel.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to an extent, but it is not fully waterproof. Applying a protective spray will improve performance in damp weather.

Does the Air unit require special care?

Keep the Air unit away from sharp objects to prevent punctures. Clean around the plastic frame with a damp cloth.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The structure is generally accommodating, but the leather material does not have as much stretch as knit or mesh models.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty maintaining the grey finish

Use a specialized leather cleaner followed by a matching grey leather polish or pigment cream.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Nike Air Max 90 shoes, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather before your first wear. For daily maintenance, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. If the leather becomes scuffed, use a leather conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness and appearance. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the grey colour from fading.
