FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While the Air Max 90 offers comfortable cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, not for performance running or intense sports training. Its construction is best suited for everyday wear and walking.
How do I determine the correct size for me?
This specific pair is a UK 11. Nike shoes generally run true to size for most individuals. If you're unsure, it's recommended to consult Nike's official size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture. However, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend using a water-resistant spray designed for leather to offer additional protection, and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What is the 'Hyper Royal' color?
'Hyper Royal' refers to a specific, vibrant shade of blue used by Nike. It's a rich, eye-catching blue that stands out while still offering versatility in styling.
How do I clean the visible Air unit in the sole?
The visible Air unit, typically made of plastic, can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) for hard-to-reach areas, then wipe clean and allow to air dry.
Is the leather upper genuine leather?
Yes, based on the product attributes, this Nike Air Max 90 features a genuine leather upper, contributing to its durability and premium feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size (UK 11 for this pair). Allow for a brief break-in period, as leather can soften and adapt to your foot over time. Try adjusting the lacing tension, loosening it slightly across the top of your foot.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This can often be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning the area, and then reinserting them. A small sprinkle of baby powder underneath the insole can also reduce friction.
Creases appearing on the leather upper.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather with wear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when the shoes are not being worn to help retain their shape. Regularly condition the leather to keep it supple and less prone to deep creases.
Laces keep coming untied.
Try using a double knot for added security. Alternatively, experiment with different lacing techniques or consider replacing the laces with a material that offers better grip.
Color fading or dullness.
Regular cleaning removes surface dirt that can dull the color. For genuine leather, a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner can help restore vibrancy and moisture to the material. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

Care Instructions
Maintaining your leather Nike Air Max 90s will help preserve their appearance and extend their lifespan:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper and sole with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dirt and dust.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole and visible Air unit.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack or warp the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important for areas prone to creasing.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather to provide an extra layer of protection.
- Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and reduce creasing.
