FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Nike Air Max 90 is primarily designed as a lifestyle or casual trainer. While they offer good cushioning for walking and everyday wear, they are not optimized for high-impact activities like serious running or athletic training.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel snug without excessive slipping. Trying them on in person is the best way to confirm fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, the Air Max unit, and adhesives. Hand wash according to the care instructions provided.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of leather, with synthetic overlays for added support and durability.
How long does the Air Max cushioning typically last?
The Air Max cushioning is designed for durability. With proper care and regular wear for casual purposes, it should provide comfort for an extended period, typically several years of use.
Are there other color options available for the Air Max 90?
Yes, the Air Max 90 model is released in a wide variety of colorways and materials throughout its history. This specific guide focuses on the Grey/Black, UK 8 version.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper.
Some creasing is natural with leather and indicates the shoe is being worn. To minimize severe creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The Air Max unit is designed for long-term durability. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may indicate extensive wear. Ensure the shoes fit correctly, as improper fit can affect perceived cushioning.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the waffle outsole provides good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Discoloration of the material.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store properly. Clean with appropriate mild cleaners as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: The Nike Air Max 90 is designed for adult use and is suitable for a variety of casual settings. They pair well with everyday clothing.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the white midsole, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash with soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain color and material integrity.
