FAQs

What is the inspiration behind this Air Max 90 model?

This model is inspired by the Nike Mercurial Vapor 2002 football boot, a significant player in 2000s football, incorporating design elements from that boot.

What does the 'Mad 90 Pack' refer to?

The 'Mad 90 Pack' is a special collection that this edition of the Air Max 90 belongs to, highlighting unique design narratives.

How do I attach or remove the fold-over tongue?

The tongue is designed to be folded over. It typically stays in place through the lacing system or its own structure. Removal might involve carefully unthreading it from specific lace loops if applicable to the design.

What does the Koren branding signify?

The exclusive Koren branding, found under the tongue and on the insoles, signifies a special collaboration or design element specific to this edition of the Air Max 90.

Are these trainers suitable for playing football?

While inspired by a football boot, these are fashion trainers designed for casual wear and comfort, not for athletic performance in sports like football.

What materials are used in the construction?

The trainers feature a synthetic upper and sole, with leather elements contributing to the overall design and structure.

What is the primary benefit of the visible Air Max cushioning?

The visible Air Max unit provides enhanced cushioning, shock absorption, and the iconic aesthetic associated with the Air Max lineage.

Troubleshooting

Tongue is uncomfortable or not staying in place

Experiment with the fold-over tongue in both its folded and unfolded positions to find the most comfortable fit. Ensure it is securely positioned as intended by the design.

Visible Air unit appears deflated or less cushioned

The Air unit is designed for durability. If significant deflation occurs, it may indicate a rare defect. Ensure you are not exposing the shoes to extreme temperatures or sharp objects that could puncture the unit.

Material scuffing or discoloration

For minor scuffs, try cleaning with a damp cloth. For discoloration, use appropriate shoe cleaning products designed for synthetic leather. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These trainers require no setup as they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard sock wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the synthetic and leather materials. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A brush or cloth can be used to clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's shape.
  • Tongue Care: If removing or reattaching the fold-over tongue, handle it with care to avoid stressing the material or its fastening points.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain color and material integrity. Using shoe trees can help preserve their shape.
