FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the leather upper may feel firmer than knit shoes.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature cushioning, the Air Max 90 is designed as a lifestyle trainer rather than a dedicated performance running shoe.
How do I maintain the white leather?
Wipe them down after use and use leather-specific protectant sprays to repel dirt and moisture.
Is the sole non-marking?
The outsoles are generally suitable for gym use, but always check for specific facility requirements if you plan to use them indoors.
Does the Air Max unit ever pop?
The Max Air unit is very durable under normal walking and lifestyle conditions; however, avoid sharp objects that could puncture the plastic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping eyelets in the midfoot area to reduce pressure.
Visible dirt on white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the finish.
Creasing at the toe box
Leather creasing is normal with wear. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 90 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short walks during the first few days to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to spot clean leather surfaces. Avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can damage the internal cushioning layers.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and the white materials from yellowing.
- Compatibility: These are standard UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider that the structured leather may feel slightly more snug than mesh equivalents.
