FAQs

What makes the Air Max 90 a 'champion' running shoe?

It helped define the running shoe aesthetic and technology of the 90s, blending innovative Air cushioning with striking visual design that was adopted by culture.

How do I clean the suede parts of the sneakers?

Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

Are these suitable for actual athletic running?

While they originated as running shoes, their primary appeal now is for casual wear and lifestyle. For serious athletic running, specialized running shoes offer more targeted support and technology.

What does 'Photon Dust' refer to in the colourway?

'Photon Dust' is a light, neutral beige or greyish-white shade used as a primary colour in the sneaker's design.

How does the Air cushioning work?

Pressurized air is contained within a durable Air unit in the midsole, providing lightweight, responsive cushioning and shock absorption.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While they offer some protection, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, especially due to the suede and mesh materials, which can be damaged by excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning brush to lift dirt and marks. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner solution may be necessary, followed by brushing.

Mesh feels stiff or dirty

Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. For more ingrained dirt, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Reduced cushioning comfort over time

While the Air cushioning is durable, consider the shoes' intended use. For daily wear, comfort should remain high. If significant degradation occurs, it might indicate extensive wear and tear.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

The Waffle outsole provides good grip, but traction can be diminished on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris for optimal performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless design with a rich cultural history.
  • Comfortable cushioning suitable for daily wear.
  • Durable construction with quality materials.
  • Distinctive visual appeal that stands out.
  • Good traction from the Waffle outsole.

Cons

  • Suede and mesh materials may be susceptible to staining.
  • May require specialized cleaning methods.
  • Running shoe heritage might mean less support for highly technical athletic activities compared to specialized performance footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, suitable for casual wear. They pair well with jeans, shorts, athleisure wear, and casual trousers.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and suede surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes in water.
  2. Suede Care: For stubborn marks on suede, a specialized suede cleaner and brush can be used.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to protect from dust and sunlight.
