FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Nike Air Max 90 are designed for heritage style and everyday comfort. While they originated from running shoes, they are best suited for lifestyle wear and casual activities, not for intense or performance-based running.
How do I find the right size?
It's recommended to check the Nike sizing chart and, if possible, try them on. Sizes can vary slightly between models. This guide specifies a UK size 6.
What is the primary material used?
The shoes feature a textile upper combined with leather and synthetic overlays for durability and structure.
How do I clean the leather parts?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the leather overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and allow to air dry.
What does the 'visible Air cushioning' do?
The visible Air unit in the heel is a pressurized air pocket that provides lightweight, durable cushioning and shock absorption with every step.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the textile and leather upper is not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if this is the correct size. The materials may also break in slightly with wear.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components or moisture. Try wearing thicker socks or ensure the shoes are completely dry.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
The Waffle outsole provides good grip, but like all footwear, performance can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution.
Visible Air unit appears deflated
The visible cushioning is designed for shock absorption and does not require inflation. Its appearance is cosmetic and functional as part of the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Air Max 90 Trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with most casual attire. They are suitable for walking, light everyday activities, and casual social settings.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on the textile and leather, use a mild soap solution with water and a clean cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole. Stubborn dirt on the outsole can be removed with a slightly stiffer brush.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their shape and color.
