FAQs
What materials are used in the Nike Air Max 90 Recraft Triple Black?
The shoe is crafted from a variety of materials including leather, suede, plastic, and features a breathable mesh lining.
Is this shoe suitable for running or intense sports?
While it offers excellent cushioning for comfort, the Nike Air Max 90 Recraft Triple Black is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday activities, not high-performance running or intense sports.
How do I clean the suede sections of the shoe?
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, but always test it on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Nike Air Max 90 is generally considered true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary, so it's always recommended to try them on if possible or refer to Nike's official size guide.
What is the 'Air Max' technology?
Air Max technology refers to Nike's innovative cushioning system featuring durable, flexible air-filled bags in the midsole. These provide lightweight cushioning and impact absorption, with a visible air unit in some models like the Air Max 90.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, especially for the suede elements. Consider using a protective spray to enhance water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during wear
Verify correct size and fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in new shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Material scuffing or marks appear
Clean promptly with products suitable for leather, suede, and plastic. For light scuffs on leather, a soft cloth and mild cleaner may suffice. For suede, use a dedicated suede brush.
Unwanted shoe odor
Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles if possible to air dry. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts, shoe deodorizers, or baking soda overnight.
Sole appears dirty or discolored
Clean the sole and midsole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush or old toothbrush can be used.

Care Instructions
Maintaining your Nike Air Max 90 Recraft Triple Black shoes requires specific attention due to their mixed material construction (leather, suede, plastic, mesh).
- General Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
- Leather Sections: Clean leather portions with a damp cloth and a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for leather. Wipe gently in circular motions and let air dry.
- Suede Sections: For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture on suede.
- Plastic & Midsole: These areas can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe clean and dry.
- Mesh Sections: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently scrub the mesh and wipe clean. Allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge your shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and internal structure.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for mixed materials (test first) to help repel water and stains.
