Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air Max 90 is designed for adult men seeking a blend of classic running heritage and contemporary everyday style. Its primary benefit is the combination of visible Air cushioning and a supportive foam midsole that ensures consistent comfort during long periods of wear. A notable caveat is that the leather upper requires proper cleaning and maintenance to preserve its durability and appearance over time.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature classic running heritage and cushioning, they are optimized for lifestyle use and daily walking rather than long-distance or high-intensity running.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the surface and allow it to air dry naturally.
Does the size fit true?
Yes, the Air Max 90 is generally considered to fit true to standard adult sizing.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
What is the purpose of the Waffle outsole?
The Waffle outsole pattern is a Nike innovation designed to provide durable grip and traction on a variety of surfaces.
Should I use a waterproofing spray?
Applying a water-repellent spray for leather can help protect the shoes from light rain and stains, but always test on a small, hidden area first.
Troubleshooting
Visible Air unit looks cloudy or scratched
Gently clean the surface of the Air unit with a microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner to restore clarity.
Leather upper shows scuffs
Apply a leather conditioner or a mild cream polish matching the black colour to buff out minor surface scuffs.
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Feet often swell during the day; ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit rather than an overly tight one.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Nike Air Max 90 fits true to size, offering a standard medium width suitable for most adults. To maintain the leather upper, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap when necessary. Ensure the shoes are air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can damage the leather or cause the glue to weaken. Check the outsole periodically for debris lodged in the Waffle lugs to ensure optimal traction.
