FAQs
How do I clean my Nike Air Max 90 Triple Black shoes?
For general cleaning, wipe the mesh and leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution with a soft brush for mesh and a specialized leather cleaner for the leather parts. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?
The Nike Air Max 90 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, offering comfort for daily wear and walking. While it has roots in running shoe technology, it is not optimized for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
What is the 'visible Air sole unit'?
The visible Air sole unit is a transparent capsule embedded in the midsole, containing pressurized air. It provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, and it's a signature design element of the Air Max series, allowing you to see the technology at work.
Are these shoes true to size?
Nike Air Max 90s are generally considered to fit true to size for most people. If you typically wear a UK 13 in Nike shoes, this size should be consistent. However, personal fit preference can vary.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
The mesh and leather upper provides some protection, but the shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. If they get wet, let them air dry naturally and consider applying a water-repellent spray for future protection.
How should I store my Air Max 90s when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees (cedar ones are best for absorbing moisture and odor) can help maintain their shape. Avoid cramming them into tight spaces.
Troubleshooting
My shoes are squeaking when I walk.
This can sometimes happen due to friction between the insole and the sole, or moisture. Try removing the insole, cleaning the inside of the shoe and the bottom of the insole, then letting them air dry completely before reinserting. A sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.
The leather is scuffed or dull.
For light scuffs, a soft, damp cloth can often buff them out. For deeper marks or to restore shine, use a suitable black leather conditioner or polish designed for footwear. Apply sparingly and buff according to the product instructions.
There's an unpleasant odor coming from my shoes.
Remove the insoles and let both the shoes and insoles air out in a well-ventilated area for at least 24 hours. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (then vacuum it out) to absorb odors.
The mesh areas look dirty or discolored.
Gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) dipped in a solution of mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Rinse by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and let air dry completely.
My shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. While the UK 13 is a specific size, individual foot shapes vary. Try adjusting the lacing technique; for example, skip a lace hole if too tight, or use all lace holes for a more secure fit. Wearing appropriate socks can also make a difference.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Air Max 90s:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather and mesh surfaces with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn dirt on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product instructions and wipe clean.
- Deep Cleaning (Mesh): For mesh areas, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub. Rinse with a damp cloth.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush and mild soap to clean the rubber soles and air unit.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
