FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Air Max 90 typically fits true to size, but the padded collar may feel snug initially before it breaks in.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the velvet material and the integrity of the foam midsole; hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
Is the velvet material water-resistant?
No, velvet is porous and can easily absorb water, so it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray prior to use.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and keep them in their original box or a shoe bag.
Are these suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking, the Air Max 90 is considered a lifestyle trainer rather than a performance running shoe.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on velvet surface
Gently use a dry, soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap to lift dirt without embedding it.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Water spots on fabric
Dab gently with a barely damp cloth and allow to air dry; do not rub aggressively as this can damage the velvet pile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature velvet construction, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. Always use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust after each wear to prevent grit from settling into the fabric fibers. If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could warp the foam or damage the fabric glue. For general maintenance, we recommend using a specialized fabric protector spray suitable for luxury materials before wearing them for the first time. Keep the laces tied securely to maintain the structural shape of the shoe.
