Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound while walking
A squeaking sound can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole, dusting a small amount of baby powder underneath it, then reinserting it. If the squeak persists, check the outsole for any loose parts or debris.
Stains on suede or leather
For suede, use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently lift the stain. For leather, a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap should be effective for surface stains. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel less cushioned over time
The Max Air unit and foam midsole are designed for durability, but consistent heavy use can gradually compress the foam. Ensure you're wearing them for their intended casual purpose. Regular cleaning can also help prevent material breakdown that might affect cushioning.
Discoloration or fading of colors
Exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods can cause colors to fade. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. For existing discoloration, a gentle cleaning may help, but significant fading is often permanent.

Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike Air Max 90 Recraft Royal, follow these care guidelines:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Suede Care: For suede overlays, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner can be used carefully. Allow to air dry completely.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, remove the laces and insoles. Hand wash the upper with a sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush, paying attention to the different materials. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, avoiding saturation.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage materials and cause discoloration.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or machine dry your sneakers, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
