FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While the Nike Air Max 90 offers excellent cushioning for everyday comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. For serious running or specific sports, dedicated athletic footwear would provide better performance and support.
How do I clean the mesh and leather parts of the shoe?
For mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, gently scrubbing. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, or use a specialized leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, the Nike Air Max 90 Recraft is known to fit true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual sneaker size. However, individual foot shapes vary, so trying them on if possible is always best.
What is the 'Recraft' aspect of these shoes?
The 'Recraft' designation means these shoes have been re-engineered to be closer to the original 1990 release's specifications, including more accurate shaping, stitching, and material proportions, offering an authentic retro feel.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The mesh and leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent material damage and discomfort. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer additional protection.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty quickly.
The 'Triple Black' colorway, while stylish, can sometimes highlight dust, lint, or light scuffs. Regularly wipe shoes with a dry, soft cloth after use. For more persistent dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
Material feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many new shoes, especially those with leather components, the Air Max 90 Recraft may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Squeaking sound coming from the sole.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the sole or inner components. It often resolves with wear. If persistent, ensure the insole is properly seated, or try a light application of talcum powder under the insole.
Visible Air unit appears foggy or unclear.
Over time, very fine scratches or internal condensation can make the Air unit appear less clear. Ensure shoes are dried thoroughly after exposure to moisture. External scratches can sometimes be buffed out with specialized plastic polish (use with caution).

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the longevity and appearance of your Nike Air Max 90 Recraft:
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn stains, especially on the mesh, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution. Apply according to product instructions, using a soft brush for mesh and a microfiber cloth for leather.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
