FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on running heritage, the modern Air Max 90 is primarily a lifestyle trainer. It is best suited for walking and casual activities rather than distance running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Gently wipe the surface and allow to air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Do these fit true to size?

Most users find the Air Max 90 fits true to size, but the leather construction may feel snug initially. You may consider a half-size up if you prefer a roomier fit.

What is the purpose of the TPU insignias?

The TPU components provide structural support to the shoe and act as iconic design markers of the Air Max 90 series.

Can the lace toggles be removed?

Yes, the lace toggles are removable, allowing you to swap them for traditional laces if you prefer a standard aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Lace toggles feel stuck or difficult to adjust

Ensure no fabric is caught in the mechanism and wipe away any dust or grit that may be impeding the spring-loaded action.

Creasing appearing on the leather upper

This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape.

Accumulated dirt in the Waffle outsole

Use a soft-bristle brush to gently dislodge trapped dirt or pebbles from between the Waffle lugs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction for longevity
  • Excellent heel cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Reliable grip provided by the classic Waffle outsole
  • Easy-to-use lace toggle system for a secure fit
  • Versatile design that pairs well with various outfits

Cons

  • Leather material is less breathable than mesh trainers
  • Requires a break-in period to reach optimal comfort
  • Heavier than contemporary lightweight running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 90s stay in top condition, start by ensuring you have the correct size for your foot width, as the leather material provides a structured fit that does not stretch significantly over time. For the best fit, adjust the lace toggles while wearing your preferred thickness of socks. To maintain the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the leather finish. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking or warping. Check the Waffle outsole periodically for embedded pebbles or debris to maintain optimal traction.
