FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Max 90 has running heritage, it is currently categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is better suited for walking and daily wear.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-safe cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions.
Is the fit true to size?
The Air Max 90 typically fits true to size, but the padded collar may make the fit feel slightly more snug than minimal trainers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.
Does the red colour bleed when wet?
As with any dyed material, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy moisture to prevent potential colour transfer.
Troubleshooting
Visible Air bubble appears cloudy or foggy
This is often surface condensation. Wipe the exterior with a microfiber cloth; if the fog persists inside the unit, it may indicate a structural compromise.
Shoe feels stiff when new
Leather components require a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
Pros and Cons

- Reliable comfort for extended daily wear

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 90s last, it is important to follow basic maintenance protocols. Since these trainers feature leather components, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks. Ensure you allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high heat can cause the leather to crack or the foam midsole to lose its elasticity. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and keep the shape consistent.
