Product Information

Full details

The Nike Air Max 90 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort, particularly those who appreciate iconic footwear with unique material details. The key benefit is the combination of a heritage design, updated with a reworked toe box to prevent creases, and visible Max Air cushioning for all-day comfort. A potential caveat is that the velvet material, while premium, may require specific care to maintain its appearance.

FAQs

Are these trainers good for running?

While the Air Max 90 has roots in running heritage, this specific model with its premium materials and updated design is best suited for lifestyle wear and casual comfort, not intense athletic training.

How do I clean the snakeskin texture?

Use a soft brush to gently remove dust and debris. For minor marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, wiping gently. Avoid soaking or using abrasive cleaners.

Will the reworked toe box prevent all creases?

The reworked toe box is designed to minimize creasing in that specific area, helping to maintain the shoe's appearance. However, some minor creasing may still occur over time with regular wear.

What does 'cult favourite' mean for this colourway?

It means this particular design was highly popular and admired by a dedicated group of sneaker enthusiasts upon its original release in 2002, and its reissue is anticipated by many.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the velvet and synthetic upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper features a combination of materials, including velvet, textile, and synthetic elements, with distinctive snakeskin textures.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

Nike trainers generally fit true to size, but it is always recommended to check the Nike size guide and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models and individuals.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and wear the shoes around the house. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the sizing is correct or if the lacing needs adjustment.

Visible Air unit appears deflated

The Air unit is designed for cushioning, not rigid support. Minor compression is normal during wear. If you suspect a leak or significant deflation, discontinue use and consult customer support.

Velvet material snagged or scuffed

Gently try to brush the affected area with a soft brush. For stubborn marks, use a cloth lightly dampened with water, dabbing rather than rubbing. Avoid excessive moisture.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The Waffle sole provides grip, but new outsoles can sometimes be slick. Wearing them on a variety of surfaces can help 'break in' the tread. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are compatible with most casual and streetwear attire. They are suitable for everyday walking and light activity.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Due to the velvet and synthetic upper, it is recommended to clean these trainers using a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the materials and cushioning.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
