FAQs

What makes this Air Max 90 colorway special?

This colorway, originally from 2002, features distinctive snakeskin textures and premium materials, making it a sought-after design. The updated release includes a reworked toe box to help prevent creasing.

Are these trainers good for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they feature Nike's Air Sole unit for cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic performance like dedicated running shoes.

How should I clean the velvet and snakeskin parts?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a lightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing.

What is the benefit of the reworked toe box?

The reworked toe box is designed to reduce and minimize creasing that commonly occurs in the toe area of shoes, helping them maintain their aesthetic appeal over time.

What materials are used in this shoe?

The shoe features a textile and synthetic upper, incorporating snakeskin textures and velvet for a premium feel.

What sizes are available?

These trainers are available in various adult male UK sizes. Please check the product listing for current availability.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the velvet and premium materials are not ideal for prolonged exposure to wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or snow.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the laces need to be broken in.

Creasing on the toe box

While designed to minimize creasing, avoid excessive bending of the shoe. Ensure proper fit, as a size too small can exacerbate creasing. Consider using shoe trees for storage.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. For new shoes, the outsole may have a release agent; scuffing them lightly on a rough surface can improve grip.

Velvet material snagged

Carefully attempt to lift any snags with tweezers. For minor abrasions, a soft brush might help restore the nap. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
