FAQs

What does the 'Mad 90 Pack' refer to?

The 'Mad 90 Pack' is a collection that draws inspiration from iconic football boots and sportswear from the 2000s, blending them with the classic Air Max 90 silhouette.

What is the inspiration behind this specific design?

This edition is inspired by the Mercurial Vapor 2002 football boot, featuring design elements like the sculptured upper and curvaceous linework that echo the original boot.

Can the fold-over tongue be removed completely?

The tongue is designed to be removable for styling options, allowing you to wear it folded or unfolded, but it is attached internally and not meant for complete detachment.

What is the typical use case for a UK size 1 trainer?

A UK size 1 is a very small adult shoe size. These trainers are often sought after by collectors due to their unique designs or by individuals who require this specific small sizing.

How do I clean the gold accents?

Clean the gold accents gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

Is the Air Max cushioning suitable for running?

The visible Air Max cushioning provides comfort for casual wear and walking. While functional, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and aesthetic purposes rather than high-impact running.

Where can I find the exclusive Koren branding?

The exclusive Koren branding is subtly revealed under the fold-over tongue and stamped onto the insoles of the trainers.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. If the tongue is folded, try unfolding it for more space. As this is a UK 1 size, the fit is inherently small; check sizing carefully.

Visible Air unit appears deflated

The Air unit is designed for cushioning, not inflation. Its appearance is cosmetic and structural. If you notice a leak (audible hiss or loss of cushioning), cease use and contact customer support.

Gold accents are scuffing

Gold finishes can be delicate. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized shoe cleaner for delicate finishes may be used cautiously. Avoid abrasive materials.

Removable tongue is difficult to adjust

Gently work the tongue back and forth. Ensure it is correctly aligned with the internal strapping system before attempting to fold or unfold it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique design inspired by football heritage.
  • Premium black and gold colorway.
  • Iconic Air Max cushioning for comfort.
  • Collectible item with exclusive branding.
  • Customizable style with a removable tongue.

Cons

  • Extremely limited sizing (UK 1) restricts wearer base.
  • May be considered more of a collector's item than a daily trainer for many.
  • Specific inspiration may not appeal to all Air Max enthusiasts.
  • Removable tongue could be a point of wear or loss.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. The fold-over tongue can be worn in its folded state or unfolded for a different look, secured by internal lacing.

Compatibility:

These trainers are compatible with standard sock wear. They are designed for adult foot sizes, specifically a UK 1.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and light.
