FAQs

Is this sneaker suitable for professional athletic performance?
While comfortable and supportive, the Air Max 90 Eggplant is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker, not for specialized high-performance athletics.
How should I clean the purple leather parts?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner is recommended. Avoid abrasive materials.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the leather offers some protection, the mesh areas are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their material integrity.
What makes the 'Eggplant' colorway unique?
The 'Eggplant' colorway is characterized by its dominant vibrant purple hue, accented with bright pops on specific design elements like the toe, heel, and inner tongue, offering a distinct aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Color transfer from purple to lighter clothing.
Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing them with light-colored socks or pants. If color transfer occurs, wash the affected clothing according to its care label.
Creasing on the leather upper.
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and store the shoes with shoe trees or stuffed paper to maintain their shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The Air Max unit is designed for durability, but cushioning may slightly decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help prolong the shoe's lifespan.
