FAQs

What is Nike EasyOn technology?

Nike EasyOn (formerly FlyEase) is a design innovation that makes shoes easier for children to put on and take off independently, often utilizing features like elastic laces, hook-and-loop straps, or wider openings.

How do I clean the leather on these shoes?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner specifically formulated for sneakers. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear and active play?

Yes, the durable leather, supportive Max Air cushioning, and grippy rubber outsole make these Air Max 90s ideal for daily wear and various active play activities.

What does the visible Max Air unit do?

The visible Max Air unit provides lightweight, responsive cushioning that absorbs impact, protecting your child's feet and offering comfort during movement and play.

Do the elastic laces need to be tied?

No, the elastic laces are designed for stretch and convenience and work in conjunction with the hook-and-loop strap to secure the fit. They do not need to be tied.

What kind of traction do these shoes offer?

These sneakers feature a rubber waffle outsole with flex grooves, providing durable multi-directional traction and promoting natural foot movement on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

My child struggles to put the shoes on by themselves.

Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is fully undone, and the shoe opening is widened. Guide them to use the heel pull tab. The Nike EasyOn system is designed for independence, practice helps.

The shoes don't feel very cushioned during active play.

Verify the shoes are the correct size for your child, as an improper fit can affect perceived cushioning. The visible Max Air unit provides consistent support, but excessive wear might reduce its responsiveness over time. Ensure insoles are correctly placed.

The leather upper looks dirty or scuffed easily.

For dirt, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner for athletic shoes can help restore its appearance. Regular gentle cleaning after wear can prevent build-up.
