FAQs

What does 'Recraft Royal' mean?

The 'Recraft Royal' designation indicates that this version of the Air Max 90 has been redesigned to closely mimic the original 1990 silhouette by Tinker Hatfield, celebrating its heritage with classic color blocking and construction. 'Royal' refers to the prominent royal blue accents.

Are these suitable for running?

While the Air Max 90 originated as a running shoe, the Recraft Royal is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. Its Max Air cushioning provides excellent comfort for everyday walking and light activities, but for serious running, modern running-specific footwear is recommended.

How do I clean the different materials on the shoe?

For mesh and the midsole, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. For suede, use a dry suede brush and a suede eraser for stains, avoiding excessive water. Always air dry away from heat.

What is the 'Max Air unit'?

The 'Max Air unit' is Nike's visible air cushioning technology embedded in the midsole. It provides responsive cushioning and impact absorption, contributing to a comfortable and smooth ride.

Is the sizing true to fit?

Nike Air Max 90 generally fits true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape can vary, so if you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a size guide. This specific model is a UK size 10 for adults.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The combination of leather and suede makes them less ideal for heavy wet weather. Water can stain suede and may require specific cleaning. Applying a water and stain repellent spray is highly recommended to provide some protection against light moisture.

When was this specific model released?

The Nike Air Max 90 Recraft Royal (in this colorway) was released on February 1st, 2020, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 90 silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a dry suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner.

White mesh/midsole looks discolored or dirty.

Prepare a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or cloth to scrub gently. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new shoes, especially those with leather and suede. Wear them for short periods (1-2 hours) over several days to allow the materials to break in and mold to your foot.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure you are using a double knot. If issues persist, consider replacing the laces with a slightly thicker or textured pair that holds knots better.

Sole traction seems reduced.

Check the outsole for excessive dirt or debris embedded in the tread. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. If wear is significant, consider that the sole may be nearing the end of its functional life.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Air Max 90 Recraft Royal:

  1. Regular Cleaning:
  • Mesh and Midsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean mesh areas and the white midsole.
  • Leather: Wipe leather sections with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  • Suede: Suede requires specific care. Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid excessive moisture on suede.
  1. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  3. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed materials (leather, suede, mesh) before first wear and periodically thereafter to protect against elements and stains.
