FAQs
Are these suitable for running or sports?
While the Air Max 90 has roots in running, the Recraft Royal is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. Its cushioning provides excellent comfort for casual wear and walking, but it's not optimized for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the blue TPU accents without damaging them?
Gently wipe the TPU accents with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the material.
Do Nike Air Max 90s run true to size?
Generally, Nike Air Max 90s tend to run true to size. We recommend trying on a pair if possible, or referring to Nike's official size guide if you're unsure.
What is the 'Max Air unit'?
The Max Air unit is Nike's proprietary air cushioning technology. It's a visible air pocket in the sole of the shoe that provides lightweight, durable cushioning and impact protection.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to put these shoes in a washing machine. The materials, especially leather and suede, can be damaged by machine washing. Always follow manual cleaning instructions.
Is the 'Recraft Royal' design identical to the original 1990 Air Max 90?
The 'Recraft Royal' builds on Tinker Hatfield's original 1990 design, mimicking its construction and color blocking very closely for the 30th anniversary. It aims to be as faithful to the original as possible.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently rub the affected area. For deeper stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.
Laces frequently come untied.
Try double knotting your laces. Ensure the laces are fully broken in, as new laces can sometimes be stiffer and harder to keep tied.
Creasing appears on the leather toe box.
Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing the sneakers and avoid unnecessarily tight lacing that might put extra stress on the toe box area.

Care
- Cleaning the Upper: For mesh, gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soap solution. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore nap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Midsole & Outsole: Clean with a soft brush or cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and grime.
