FAQs

What materials are the Nike Air Max 90 Drift trainers made of?

These trainers feature a construction with a mesh and leather upper, synthetic overlays, and a rubber mudguard.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While rooted in running culture, the Air Max 90 Drift is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. For intense athletic performance, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the leather and mesh parts?

Leather should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner, while mesh can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying.

What kind of cushioning do these trainers offer?

They feature the signature visible Nike Air cushioning unit for responsive comfort, complemented by a foam midsole.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The trainers offer some protection, but the leather and mesh materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

What is the main advantage of the Waffle outsole?

The rubber Waffle outsole provides durable traction, ensuring a good grip on various surfaces and contributing to the shoe's classic aesthetic.

What does 'Drift' signify in the product name?

The 'Drift' likely refers to a specific design iteration or colorway within the Air Max 90 series, often characterized by updated materials or a particular aesthetic, in this case, an earthy, neutral palette.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration on leather or mesh

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For persistent stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for the material (leather cleaner for leather, mild soap for mesh). Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning feel

Ensure the shoe is properly broken in. If the cushioning feels permanently diminished, it may be due to wear and tear and the insoles might need replacement for added support.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or moisture. Try inserting a powder inside the shoe to absorb moisture, or check if the insole is loose and reposition it.

Poor grip on slippery surfaces

The Waffle outsole provides good traction, but performance can be affected by wear. If the outsole is worn down, consider replacing the shoes or consulting a cobbler for sole repair options.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down leather surfaces. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Cleaning Mesh: Gently clean mesh areas with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  3. Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): Use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. Do not use water.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  5. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine dry.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
