FAQs

What is the primary material of the Nike Air Max 90 Obsidian Track Red?

The primary material is suede, complemented by other elements like mesh and rubber.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While originally designed as a running shoe, its current iteration is best suited for lifestyle and casual wear due to advancements in specialized athletic footwear. It offers comfort for walking but may lack the specific support and technology for intense running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a soft brush or suede eraser for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, and always allow the shoe to air dry away from heat.

What does the 'Track Red' refer to?

Track Red is a specific color accent used on parts of the shoe, such as the Nike tongue patch, waffle outsole, and the Air unit window, adding a vibrant contrast to the obsidian and white base.

What is the typical sizing like for the Air Max 90?

Nike Air Max 90 generally runs true to size for most wearers, but it is always recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible, as individual fit can vary.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoe has some durability, it is not waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, as it can damage the suede and affect the shoe's overall longevity.

What other colorways or sizes are available?

The Nike Air Max 90 comes in various colorways and sizes. This guide focuses on the Obsidian Track Red version in UK Size 7, but sibling products in different colors and sizes exist.

Troubleshooting

Suede color transfer onto socks or pants.

This can occasionally happen with new suede products. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. For persistent issues, consider applying a suede protector spray (test in an inconspicuous area first).

Laces becoming dirty or worn.

Clean laces gently with soap and water, or replace them with new laces of a similar style or color.

Midsole yellowing over time.

Yellowing can occur due to oxidation, especially on translucent or white rubber components. While difficult to reverse completely, regular cleaning and avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can help slow the process.
