FAQs
Are the Nike Air Max 90s good for running?
While originally designed as performance runners, current models are optimized for lifestyle use. They are suitable for light walking but lack the advanced technology of modern specialized distance running shoes.
Do I need to spray the trainers with a protective coating?
Using a water and stain repellent spray compatible with leather can help protect the aesthetic, but ensure you follow the product's instructions carefully.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you wish to use custom orthotic inserts.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, most users find the Air Max 90 fits true to size. If you prefer a loose fit, some opt for a half-size up.
How do I clean the white sections of the shoe?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mixture with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during first wear
Loosen the laces significantly and wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally stretch and break in.
Creasing appearing on the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather trainers. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep crease lines.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Timeless, iconic silhouette that fits most casual wardrobes
- Excellent heel cushioning for high-impact walking
- Durable leather and rubber materials ensure longevity
- Comfortable collar design prevents ankle chafing
Cons
- Leather material may feel slightly stiff out of the box
- Not intended for high-performance athletic running
- Light-coloured panels can be susceptible to surface scuffs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are constructed primarily from leather, they are designed to fit true to size. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the initial fit snug across the midfoot, though the leather will gradually stretch and conform to your foot shape after a few days of wear. To care for your Nike Air Max 90s, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the waffle outsole and leather panels. Avoid immersing the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather quality. For deeper cleans, use a damp cloth with mild soap, focusing on the synthetic panels, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
