FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While Nike Air Max 90s offer exceptional cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual wear and daily comfort, not high-performance running. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes with features tailored to impact absorption and propulsion are recommended.
How do I clean the white sections of the sole or logos?
For white rubber soles and accents, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mixture of mild soap and water, or a specialized shoe cleaner. Gently scrub the white areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the Max Air unit?
The Max Air unit is a visible air pocket located in the heel of the sole. It is designed to provide superior cushioning and impact absorption, making your steps feel lighter, more comfortable, and offering lasting support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are constructed with a mix of textile, leather, and synthetic overlays that are not designed to be fully water-resistant. It's best to avoid heavy rain or deep puddles to protect the materials.
Do they fit true to size?
Generally, Nike Air Max 90s are known to fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit can vary based on individual foot shape. If you are uncertain, consulting Nike's official size guide is always recommended.
Can I wear these trainers in winter?
While they can be worn in mild winter conditions, the mesh components and low-top design do not offer significant insulation or water protection for harsh winter weather, heavy snow, or icy conditions. For winter, consider more robust, insulated footwear.
What is the Waffle outsole?
The Waffle outsole is a durable rubber outsole featuring a distinctive pattern of raised lugs. This design, inspired by early Nike running shoes, provides excellent multi-directional traction and grip on various surfaces, enhancing stability.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
A squeaking sound often comes from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure the insole is properly seated.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure you are tying your laces with a secure double knot. If the laces are old and worn, their slickness might contribute to them coming untied; consider replacing them with new laces.
Trainers feel too tight or loose in certain areas
Utilize the variable width lacing system. Experiment with different lacing patterns (e.g., skip an eyelet for pressure points, or use a runner's knot for heel slippage) to customize the fit to your foot's unique shape.
Discoloration or staining on the black upper or white accents
Clean the affected areas immediately with a soft cloth and a mild shoe cleaner designed for synthetic and leather materials. For white rubber accents, a gentle scrub with an old toothbrush and mild soap can be effective. Prompt cleaning prevents stains from setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unboxing: Carefully remove your new Nike Air Max 90 Trainers from their packaging.
Lacing Adjustment: Loosen the laces, slide your foot into the shoe, and then tighten the laces for a snug, yet comfortable fit. Utilize the variable width lacing system to customize the tightness across your foot.
Initial Wear: While generally comfortable from the first wear, a short 'break-in' period during your initial outings can help the shoes conform perfectly to your foot's unique shape.
Compatibility
Activities: Best suited for casual wear, walking, urban exploration, and light recreational activities. They are not recommended for high-impact sports like competitive running or intense court activities.
Terrain: Ideal for paved surfaces, sidewalks, gym floors, and indoor environments. The Waffle outsole provides excellent grip on these surfaces.
Weather: Most suitable for dry to lightly damp conditions. The textile and leather materials are not designed to be fully waterproof, so avoid heavy rain or muddy environments to protect the shoe's materials and appearance.
Care
Spot Cleaning: Immediately wipe off any visible dirt or stains with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild shoe cleaner solution designed for athletic footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
Lace Cleaning: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.
Material Specific Care: For the leather overlays, consider using a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
