FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on running heritage, the modern Air Max 90 is intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than dedicated high-intensity sports.
How do I maintain the black leather finish?
Use a leather conditioner occasionally to prevent the material from drying out and keep the color uniform.
Do these run true to size?
The Air Max 90 generally fits true to size, but the leather construction provides a snug fit; size up half a size if you prefer extra room.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and weaken the adhesive holding the sole together. Always hand clean.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant, meaning it handles light rain well, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight initially
Wear them with thin socks indoors for a few hours to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Squeaking sound while walking
This is often caused by moisture under the insole; remove the insole and let both it and the shoe dry completely before reinserting.
Visible dirt on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaning wipe or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather cleaner to gently remove surface debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather trainers, proper care is essential for maintaining their appearance. To clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water, which can damage the leather finish. If the trainers get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. To ensure maximum comfort, verify your UK sizing before purchase, as the rigid leather structure provides a secure, locked-in fit that does not stretch significantly over time. We recommend using a quality leather protector spray to guard against stains and keep the black finish looking deep and vibrant.
