FAQs
Are Nike Air Max 90s true to size?
Generally, Nike Air Max 90s are considered true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or refer to Nike's official sizing chart.
What is the 'Max Air unit' and what does it do?
The Max Air unit is a visible air-filled bag integrated into the midsole. It provides lightweight, responsive cushioning and impact absorption, enhancing comfort and protecting your feet from repetitive impact.
Can I use these shoes for running or sports?
While the Air Max 90 has running heritage, this model is recrafted for lifestyle and casual wear. Its design emphasizes comfort and style for daily activities rather than high-performance running or intense sports. For athletic training, specific performance running shoes are recommended.
How do I best clean the different materials on these sneakers?
For mesh, use a soft brush and mild soap. For synthetic suede, a specialized suede brush or cleaner is best; avoid excess water. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from heat. Avoid machine washing.
What is the primary gender target for this specific model?
This particular model (MPN: CD0881-102) is designated for 'Male' adults, featuring a UK 8 sizing. However, the Air Max 90 design is broadly popular across all genders.
What does 'recrafted build' mean?
A 'recrafted build' signifies that the shoe has been meticulously redesigned to mimic the original 1990 specifications, including shape, materials, and stitch patterns, to celebrate its heritage and deliver an authentic retro experience with modern manufacturing quality.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuffs on the upper materials.
Identify the material (mesh, synthetic suede, leather, TPU) and use appropriate gentle cleaning methods. For mesh, a soft brush and mild soap; for suede, a specialized suede brush/cleaner; for leather, a damp cloth.
Slight discomfort or stiffness during initial wear.
Allow for a brief 'break-in' period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size.
Unusual squeaking noise when walking.
Check for any trapped debris between the outsole and midsole. Clean the outsole thoroughly. Sometimes a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help if the noise is coming from inside the shoe.
Colors appear dull or faded over time.
Protect shoes from prolonged direct sunlight during storage. Regular gentle cleaning and using protective sprays (suitable for multi-materials) can help maintain color vibrancy.

Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your Air Max 90s:
- Gentle Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Material-Specific Cleaning:
- Mesh: Gently brush with a soft cloth and a diluted sneaker cleaner.
- Synthetic Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and protector are recommended. Avoid excessive water.
- Leather: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Leather cleaners and conditioners can help maintain suppleness and shine.
- TPU Accents: Wipe with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge your shoes in water, as this can damage the adhesives and materials.
