FAQs

Are the Nike Air Max 90 Obsidian Track Red suitable for running?

While the Air Max 90 was originally designed as a running shoe, it is now primarily considered a lifestyle sneaker. It offers good comfort for walking and daily wear but may not provide the specialized support and cushioning needed for intense athletic running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and avoid excessive moisture.

What does 'Obsidian' and 'Track Red' refer to?

'Obsidian' is a deep, dark blue color similar to navy, and 'Track Red' is a vibrant, sporty red accent color used on specific parts of the shoe like the tongue label and outsole.

What is the primary material of this sneaker?

The sneaker features a combination of materials, including suede for overlays and mesh for the base layer, offering both durability and breathability.

Is this shoe available in other sizes?

The Nike Air Max 90 series is typically available in a wide range of sizes. Please check retailer listings for specific availability of the Obsidian Track Red colorway in your desired size.

How does the cushioning feel?

The shoe features Nike Air cushioning in the heel, providing a responsive and comfortable feel suitable for everyday wear and light activities.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a powder insert or ensuring the insoles are properly seated.

Color transfer from red accents

New shoes, especially those with vibrant colors, may experience some color transfer. This is usually minimal and can be reduced by avoiding prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when wet.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly and not too tight. If discomfort persists, consider using additional insoles for personalized cushioning or support.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, consult specific suede cleaning product instructions.
