FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on running heritage, the Air Max 90 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer and is better suited for walking and daily wear than high-intensity long-distance running.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The Air Max 90 typically fits true to size. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I use these in the rain?
The leather upper provides better resistance than fabric, but they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray for added protection.
How do I maintain the white parts of the sole?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild mixture of water and gentle soap with a soft brush to scrub the midsole carefully.
What is the difference between the 90 and the 90 Drift?
The Drift series is often a modern iteration of the classic 90, sometimes featuring updated materials or slight modifications to the silhouette for a contemporary look.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep crease lines.
Dirt buildup in the outsole treads
Use a stiff-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to dislodge pebbles and dried mud from the Waffle pattern.
Visible scuffs on the leather surface
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a color-matched polish to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 90s stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these feature leather uppers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish and adhesive. Instead, spot clean with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution when necessary. For the rubber outsoles, use a brush to remove debris or dried mud. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray to guard against stains. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to fade and the foam to degrade over time.
