FAQs

Are the Nike Air Max 90 Recraft Royal suitable for running?

No, while they offer excellent cushioning for everyday comfort, these shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For running, it's best to choose specialized running footwear.

What does 'Recraft' mean in the product name?

The 'Recraft' designation indicates that this version of the Air Max 90 is built to mimic Tinker Hatfield's original 1990 design more closely, celebrating its heritage with accurate shape and material blocking.

How do I clean the white mesh upper?

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damage. Always air dry.

Are the Air units visible in this model?

Yes, the Nike Air Max 90 Recraft Royal features the signature visible Max Air unit in the heel, which is a hallmark of the Air Max 90 design.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather and suede offer some protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may damage the materials, especially the suede. Consider a protective spray for water resistance.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is crafted from a mix of materials, including breathable white mesh, grey synthetic suede overlays, and black leather mudguards, providing both durability and a premium look.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound while walking

This can sometimes occur from friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area underneath, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole might help reduce friction.

Discomfort or rubbing after extended wear

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoe feels too tight, consider trying a half-size larger. For rubbing, anti-blister socks or moleskin patches on problem areas of your foot can provide relief. Break-in time can also resolve minor discomfort.

Stains on leather or suede materials

For leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt, and a suede eraser for tougher marks. For liquid stains on suede, blot immediately, then use a specialized suede cleaner if necessary. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Sole separation or peeling

While uncommon for new shoes, if this occurs, it may indicate a manufacturing defect. Refer to your purchase warranty or contact the retailer for assistance. Avoid exposing shoes to extreme heat or prolonged moisture, which can weaken adhesives.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Nike Air Max 90 Recraft Royal.

  1. General Cleaning:
  • Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush).
  • Mix mild soap (like dish soap) with warm water.
  • Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the mesh and leather surfaces.
  • For the rubber sole, a stiffer brush can be used with the soapy solution.
  1. Suede Care:
  • Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap.
  • For stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar on a clean cloth, dabbing gently. Avoid excessive moisture.
  • Let suede air dry completely away from direct heat.
  1. Drying:
  • Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature.
  • Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
  • You can stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  1. Storage:
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
  • Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
