FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Nike Air Max 90 Obsidian Track Red?

This shoe is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker, emphasizing comfort and style for everyday wear rather than high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for stains. Avoid excessive water contact with the suede.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While the Air Max 90 was originally a running shoe, this lifestyle version is best suited for casual walking and daily activities. It may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running.

What does 'Obsidian Track Red' refer to?

These terms describe the colorway of the shoe. 'Obsidian' is a dark blue, 'Track Red' is a vibrant red accent color, combined with white and 'Pure Platinum' (a light grey).

What is the material composition of the shoe?

The shoe primarily features a combination of suede for overlays, with mesh and synthetic materials for the base and other structural elements.

How does the sizing run for this shoe?

The sizing is based on UK men's shoe standards. It is recommended to consult a Nike size chart or try them on if possible for the best fit.

What is the benefit of the visible Air unit?

The visible Air unit in the heel provides responsive cushioning, absorbing impact and offering comfort during wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth and allow it to air dry completely before brushing again.

Smell inside the shoe

Remove the insoles and let them and the shoes air out in a well-ventilated area. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then empty it out.

Laces are worn or dirty

Hand wash the laces with mild soap and water, or replace them with new laces to refresh the shoe's appearance.

Visible Air unit appears cloudy

This is often a cosmetic effect of the material and lighting; it does not typically affect cushioning performance. Clean the area gently with a damp cloth.
