FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a heritage runner design, the Air Max 90 Premium is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is best suited for casual wear rather than intense distance running.
How do I determine the right size?
The Air Max 90 generally fits true to size. If you prefer a wider fit, consider that the leather construction is structured and does not stretch as much as fabric mesh.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the Air unit. Always hand clean with a soft cloth.
What does the Air unit do?
The visible Air unit in the heel is designed to provide responsive cushioning by compressing upon impact and returning to its original shape.
Are these unisex?
Yes, this model is designed for a unisex fit, though sizing is typically provided in standard adult UK sizes.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the leather and reduce deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning the midsole
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning brush and a gentle cleanser to work out dirt from the foam texture.
Feeling too stiff after purchase
Ensure you are using the correct size, and wear them for short periods around the house to soften the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Air Max 90 Premium trainers, keep them away from excessive heat sources which can damage the cushioning unit. For cleaning, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water to wipe down the leather surfaces; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water. It is recommended to use a protective spray designed for leather to prevent staining and water damage. Since these are leather-based, if they feel slightly snug, wear them with thin socks initially to allow the material to stretch and adapt to the contours of your feet.
