Product Information

Full details

The Nike Air Max 90 Gore-Tex 'Infrared' is designed for adults seeking a stylish sneaker that offers reliable protection against the elements. Its key benefit is the combination of iconic Air Max cushioning with advanced waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex technology. A potential consideration is that while waterproof, the materials may require specific care to maintain their performance and appearance over time. This iteration features a white base with gray leather and synthetic overlays, accented by dark gray Swooshes and subtle red Gore-Tex branding. Visible Air Max units in the heel provide signature comfort and support.

FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Nike Air Max 90 Gore-Tex Infrared features a Gore-Tex upper, which is engineered to be waterproof and breathable, providing protection from external moisture while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

Can I wear these in snow?

While the Gore-Tex material offers waterproofing, these are primarily designed as sneakers. They can offer some protection in light snow, but specialized winter footwear is recommended for heavy snow or icy conditions.

How do I check if I have the right size?

Measure your foot length and compare it to the Nike sizing chart. Ensure there is a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when trying them on. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

What is the main difference between this and a standard Air Max 90?

The primary difference is the inclusion of the Gore-Tex membrane in the upper, offering superior waterproofing and breathability compared to the standard mesh and leather construction of a regular Air Max 90.

How often should I clean my Gore-Tex sneakers?

Clean them as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant moisture. Regular light cleaning helps maintain the material's performance and appearance. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals.

Is the 'Infrared' colorway the only option?

This guide focuses on the 'Infrared' colorway. The Nike Air Max 90 Gore-Tex may be available in other colorways and variations depending on the release.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced if they become worn or if you wish to change the look. Ensure the replacement laces are of a similar length and material type.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel damp inside after heavy rain.

Ensure laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress. Allow shoes to air dry completely. If persistent, check for any damage to the Gore-Tex membrane.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on Gore-Tex can wear off over time. Consider using a re-proofing spray specifically designed for waterproof footwear after cleaning.

Visible creasing or damage on the upper.

While designed for durability, excessive creasing can occur with heavy wear. Avoid folding the shoes excessively. Minor scuffs can often be addressed with appropriate cleaning products.

Outsole feels slippery on wet surfaces.

While the outsole provides traction, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean; dirt and debris can reduce grip. The tread pattern may also wear down over extended use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male wear. Compatible with casual attire. The Gore-Tex technology is inherent to the shoe's construction and requires no additional setup.

Care:

  • To clean, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt.
  • For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the Gore-Tex membrane and other materials.
  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  • For stubborn stains on suede or leather, use a specialized sneaker cleaner suitable for those materials, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
