FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
While the Nike Air Max 90 offers excellent cushioning and comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for everyday casual wear. It is not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I clean my Nike Air Max 90 trainers?
For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution and wipe gently. For the soles, a soft brush can remove dirt. Always air dry away from direct heat to prevent damage to the materials.
What material are these shoes made from?
This specific model features a durable upper crafted with quality leather, providing a premium feel and long-lasting wear.
Do Nike Air Max 90s run true to size?
Generally, Nike Air Max 90s are considered to fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape and width.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some resistance to moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's recommended to treat them with a water-repellent spray designed for leather for added protection in light rain. Avoid heavy wet conditions to preserve the material's integrity.
What does 'Air Max' refer to?
'Air Max' refers to Nike's innovative cushioning technology, which incorporates visible air pockets within the sole. This technology provides lightweight cushioning and superior shock absorption, enhancing comfort during wear.
Are there other colors or sizes available for the Air Max 90?
The Nike Air Max 90 is a globally popular model and is typically available in a vast array of colors, materials, and sizes beyond this specific black UK 6 variant. > Info needed: Please check the product page or Nike's official website for the full range of available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially or cause discomfort.
The leather upper may feel stiff at first. Wear them for short periods to 'break them in.' The leather will soften and conform to your foot over time. Ensure you have the correct size.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insoles are properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes, friction between a loose insole and the shoe's interior can cause noise. If the squeaking persists or seems to come from the sole unit itself, ensure the shoes are completely dry. > Info needed: If it's a persistent issue in a new pair, consult Nike's customer support.
Dirt and scuffs are visible on the leather.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of leather cleaner or mild, non-detergent soap. Wipe dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or polish may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Lace Up: Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly.
- Check Fit: Verify that the size feels comfortable, with adequate toe room and heel security.

- Tops: Complement t-shirts, hoodies, casual shirts, and light jackets.
- Occasions: Perfect for everyday wear, urban exploration, social events, or simply relaxing.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Air Max 90s:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose dirt and dust from the leather upper and sole after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks or dirt on the leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth (not soaking wet) and a small amount of mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush or old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the rubber soles and air unit.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and synthetic materials to offer an extra layer of protection against spills and light rain.
- Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
