FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While originally designed as a performance runner, the Air Max 90 is now categorized as a lifestyle sneaker. It is best suited for walking and daily casual use rather than long-distance running.
How do I determine if 8.5 is the right size?
The Nike Air Max 90 generally fits true to size. If you have worn Nike sneakers in the past, your standard UK size should provide the correct fit.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the agitation and heat can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the canvas material.
Does the black canvas fade over time?
Like all dyed fabrics, the black color may experience minor fading if exposed to excessive direct sunlight or harsh cleaning chemicals over a long period.
Is the sole unit prone to puncture?
The Air unit is protected by durable polyurethane, making it resistant to everyday punctures, though you should avoid stepping on sharp, jagged objects.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the canvas upper
Use a dry, soft brush to remove dust or a damp cloth with mild soap for localized cleaning.
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of canvas footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Squeaking while walking
Ensure the insole is properly seated and dry, or check for moisture inside the sole unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 90s stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of canvas, it is recommended to use a protective spray designed for fabric to repel dirt and moisture before your first wear. For daily maintenance, wipe away loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become soiled, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth, avoiding heavy saturation of the fabric. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area; avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the material to warp or fade. Ensure you verify your UK sizing (8.5) as the Air Max 90 typically fits true to size, but standard sports socks are recommended for the best fit.
