FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing football?

No, while inspired by the original Total 90 football boot, this version has been re-engineered for casual street wear and fashion. It is not designed for competitive football performance.

How should I clean the leather upper?

For routine cleaning, gently wipe the *durable leather upper* with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks or to maintain the glossy finish, use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for footwear.

What is asymmetrical lacing?

Asymmetrical lacing means the laces are positioned off-center. This design aims to provide a more ergonomic and secure fit by following the natural contours of your foot, while also contributing to the trainer's distinctive look.

Are these comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, these trainers are designed with a *plush padded collar* and a *cushioned sole* to provide ample comfort and support for extended periods of walking and daily use.

What does 'Total 90' signify?

Total 90 refers to a classic Nike series, originally known for its high-performance football boots. This particular model brings back that iconic aesthetic, reimagined for contemporary street fashion.

Is the sizing true to size?

Nike trainers generally run true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend consulting a Nike size guide if you are unsure, or trying them on to ensure the best fit.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

Ensure the *asymmetrical lacing* is not too tight or too loose. Experiment with different lacing tensions to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

The glossy finish on the leather appears dull or scuffed.

Gently clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For scuffs, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for glossy finishes. Regular gentle cleaning helps maintain the aesthetic.

Reduced grip on smooth or wet surfaces.

Check the *grippy rubber tread* for any embedded debris, small stones, or mud that might be compromising traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the issue persists, consider the surface you are walking on, as no sole can provide perfect grip on all extreme conditions.

Compatibility:

These Nike Total 90 trainers are primarily designed for casual street wear and fashion. They complement a wide range of outfits, from jeans and shorts to athletic-inspired attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: For general cleaning, wipe the *durable leather upper* gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for glossy finishes. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Drying: If wet, allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
  • Sole Care: Regularly check the *grippy rubber tread* for embedded debris and clean as necessary to maintain optimal traction.
