FAQs

Is the Nike Air Max 90 true to size?

Most users find the Air Max 90 fits true to size, but those who prefer a roomier fit might consider going up a half size.

Can I use these for running?

These are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. They provide comfort for walking, but are not recommended for long-distance running.

How do I protect the light grey color?

Use a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for footwear before your first wear.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, the materials are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.

What is the primary difference between this and the original 1990 version?

The Be True edition incorporates modernized materials and updated foam technology for improved comfort while retaining the original 1990 silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the grey mesh or leather sections

Gently scrub with a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth; avoid putting them in the washing machine.

Squeaking sound when walking

Remove the insole and sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder beneath it to reduce friction noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 90s stay in top condition, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild detergent mixed with warm water to spot-clean the upper material.
  2. Storage: Keep your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material stiffening.
  3. Moisture Protection: Applying a high-quality sneaker protector spray can help repel dirt and liquids, which is essential for the grey-toned sections.
  4. Rotation: Allow the interior foam and cushioning to decompress between wears by rotating these with other pairs of shoes.
