FAQs

What does 'Flyleather' mean?

Flyleather is an innovative material made from at least 50% recycled leather fiber combined with synthetic materials using a new, more sustainable process. It has the look and feel of traditional leather but with a lower environmental footprint.

Are these shoes unisex?

While listed with specific gender attributes, the design and silhouette of the Air Max 90 are widely appreciated and worn by all genders. The sizing provided is standard.

How durable is the artwork?

The artwork is applied to the Flyleather material. While designed for wear, it is susceptible to damage from harsh cleaning methods or excessive abrasion. Gentle care is recommended to preserve its appearance.

What is the release date and original retail price?

The Nike Air Max 90 Flyleather Ruohan Wang released in September 2020 and originally retailed for $130.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The materials, especially the printed artwork, can be damaged by the harshness of a washing machine and dryer.

What makes the design 'asymmetrical'?

The asymmetry comes from the hand-drawn elements and the varied use of colors and graphics across different parts of the shoe, such as the Swoosh, heel, and midsole, creating a non-uniform but artistic appearance.

Where can I find other sizes?

The product information lists several sibling variants with different sizes. Please refer to the available sibling products for alternative sizing options.

Troubleshooting

Artwork appears to be fading or smudged

Ensure you are using a damp, not wet, cloth for cleaning and avoid excessive rubbing. For persistent marks, consider a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for printed surfaces, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can occasionally happen with new or wet shoes. Ensure the shoe is completely dry. If the issue persists, try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on the tongue of the shoe.

Discomfort or pressure points

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check for any loose threads or seams inside the shoe that might be causing irritation.

Flyleather material creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid bending the shoe sharply. Store them upright or use shoe trees when not in use.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Due to the intricate artwork, it is recommended to clean the Flyleather upper gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Suede/Nubuck Parts: If any parts are made of suede or nubuck, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture.
  • Midsole/Outsole: The rubber midsole and outsole can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate washing if necessary, preferably by hand.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials and artwork.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect the artwork from dust and scuffs.
