Nike Air Max 90 - Black - Size UK 6.5

While the Air Max 90 originated as a running shoe, modern running shoe technology has advanced significantly. They are better suited for casual wear, walking, and light exercise rather than dedicated performance running due to their design and cushioning properties.

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Then, apply a small amount of specialized leather cleaner to a soft cloth and gently wipe the leather sections. Follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Generally, Nike Air Max 90s are considered to run true to size for most people. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. If you are unsure, trying them on or consulting a size guide with foot measurements is recommended.

The leather and textile upper provides some protection, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. Heavy rain can saturate the materials, especially the mesh, and potentially damage the leather. For best protection, apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and textiles.

The Max Air unit is a technology developed by Nike that consists of a durable, flexible bag filled with pressurized air. It's designed to provide lightweight cushioning and impact absorption, visible through a window in the midsole of the Air Max 90.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, ensure you have the correct size to prevent excessive bending. Using shoe trees when storing them can help maintain the shoe's shape. Regular conditioning of the leather can also help keep it flexible and less prone to sharp creases.

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with baby powder or cornstarch, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture or a loose component in the sole unit. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry.

For light scuffs, a damp soft cloth might be enough. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following the product instructions. A leather conditioner applied afterwards can help restore the finish. For deeper marks, a leather repair kit might be needed.

Ensure you have the correct size. If the fit is generally okay but a bit snug, consider different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points, such as skipping an eyelet. Allow for a break-in period for the leather to soften and conform to your foot. Wear appropriate socks.

Mix warm water with a small amount of mild detergent. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a cloth to scrub the midsole and outsole. For stubborn stains, a sneaker cleaning solution can be effective. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.

Remove insoles and air out shoes thoroughly. Use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then vacuumed out), or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
