FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Max 90 features cushioning technology, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and not for long-distance running or intense athletic sports.
How should I clean the velvet material?
Use only a dry, soft brush to remove dust. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can permanently ruin the velvet texture.
Is the sizing consistent with other Nike models?
Yes, the Air Max 90 typically fits true to size for standard adult UK sizing.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The velvet material is sensitive to moisture, which can cause spotting and long-term damage.
What is the primary benefit of the Air bubble?
The Air bubble serves as a pressurized air chamber that compresses upon impact to absorb shock and provide a responsive, bouncy feel.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust on the velvet upper
Use a specialized soft-bristled brush to lightly groom the fibers in one direction.
Creasing near the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the upper retain its natural shape.
Loss of traction
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove debris or dried mud buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for an 'out-of-the-box' fit, true to size for most adult users. To maintain the velvet upper, avoid harsh brushing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a dry microfiber cloth to gently remove surface dust. Keep them away from heavy rainfall and mud, as velvet can absorb liquids and harbor stains quickly. Store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If they become damp, air-dry them naturally at room temperature rather than using high-heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which could damage the fabric or glue.
