FAQs

What makes this Air Max 90 release special?

This release revisits a cult favorite colorway from 2002, featuring unique snakeskin textures and elevated velvet materials, updated with a reworked toe box to minimize creasing.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they feature Nike's Air Sole cushioning, they are not optimized for intense athletic training like dedicated running shoes.

How should I clean the velvet and snakeskin parts?

Use a soft brush to remove dust from velvet. For dirt, a specialized velvet cleaner or a slightly damp cloth is recommended. Test any cleaning solution on a small, hidden area first. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

What does 'reworked toe box' mean for the fit?

The reworked toe box is designed to reduce the likelihood of creasing, helping the shoe maintain its shape and aesthetic over time. It should not significantly alter the fit compared to other Air Max 90 models.

What other sizes and colors are available?

This specific model is available in UK size 13. Other Nike Air Max 90 trainers come in a wide variety of sizes and colorways, including beige and black options.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.

Is the Air Sole unit replaceable?

The Air Sole unit is integrated into the midsole and is not designed to be user-replaceable. Its performance is expected to last the typical lifespan of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and wear with thin socks initially. If still tight after a few wears, consider professional stretching or ensure you have the correct size.

Velvet material is matted or dirty

Gently brush the velvet with a soft, dry brush in the direction of the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized velvet cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Creasing on the toe box

While this model features a reworked toe box to prevent creases, excessive force or improper fit can still cause them. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit and avoid folding the shoe unnaturally.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or friction. Try inserting talcum powder or a dryer sheet under the insole.

Care Instructions:

  • Upper: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth for the textile and synthetic parts. For the velvet and snakeskin elements, use a soft brush to remove surface dust. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash separately with mild detergent.
  • Sole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is lodged in the tread.
