FAQs
Are Nike Air Max 90 shoes good for running?
While originally designed as performance runners in the 90s, modern versions are optimized for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap or a specific leather cleaner; avoid harsh chemicals and do not machine wash.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though individuals with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.
What is the function of the Max Air unit?
The Max Air unit provides pressurized air cushioning that absorbs impact and provides responsive comfort during walking.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creases.
Outsole losing grip
Clear out any debris or small pebbles stuck in the Waffle pattern using a soft brush.
Heel area feeling stiff
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and allow for a short break-in period as the leather softens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers fit true to size. To maintain the appearance of the leather upper, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush to remove surface debris after daily use. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives in the sole. For protection against rain or dirt, apply a water-repellent leather spray regularly. If the shoes become damp inside, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the materials.
