FAQs

Are these Nike Total 90 shoes suitable for playing football?

No, these shoes are a lifestyle rework of the classic Total 90 design. They feature a rubber outsole instead of studs and are intended for casual wear, street style, and urban environments, not for athletic performance on a football pitch.

What is the primary material of the shoe's upper?

The upper of this Nike Total 90 variant is made from leather, featuring a distinctive quilted pattern and a sleek black patent finish.

How should I clean the black patent leather?

For the patent leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For scuffs or to restore shine, you can use a patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly, buffing gently with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Nike footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend selecting your usual Nike shoe size (UK 9.5 for this variant) for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size.

Is the outsole slippery in wet conditions?

The streamlined rubber outsole provides good grip on most urban surfaces. However, like all shoes, caution should be exercised on very wet, icy, or extremely slippery conditions to prevent falls.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the asymmetric lacing system allows for lace replacement. You can choose flat laces of a similar length to the originals to maintain the intended fit and aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or scuffed

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For patent leather, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly on a soft cloth can restore shine and reduce the appearance of minor scuffs. Buff gently.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear

Leather can take time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure your socks are not too thick. The asymmetric lacing can be adjusted to provide a more accommodating fit across the top of your foot. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size (UK 9.5).

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe's interior. Remove the insole and sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the insole. This can reduce friction causing the squeak.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Nike Total 90 shoes is as simple as putting them on. The asymmetric lacing allows for a personalized fit. Adjust the laces to ensure the shoe is snug but not uncomfortably tight, providing ample support and comfort around your foot.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed to complement a wide range of casual and streetwear outfits. Their black patent finish and iconic silhouette pair well with:

  • Jeans: From classic blue to black or distressed styles.
  • Chinos & Trousers: For a smart-casual look.
  • Joggers & Track Pants: To lean into the athletic-inspired aesthetic.
  • Shorts: On warmer days, for a relaxed yet stylish ensemble.

Care Instructions

To ensure your Nike Total 90 shoes remain in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the leather upper, especially the patent finish, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner designed for patent leather can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the finish.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray suitable for patent leather to help repel water and stains, extending the life and appearance of your shoes.
