FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the Nike Air Max 90 offers comfort and cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or casual trainers rather than specialized running shoes. For dedicated running, consider Nike's performance running lines.

What is the main difference between the 'Drift' edition and other Air Max 90 models?

The 'Drift' edition typically features specific material combinations and colorway variations, such as the mesh and leather upper with synthetic overlays mentioned in this description, while maintaining the core Air Max 90 silhouette and cushioning technology.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure your heel is snug without being tight and there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The combination of leather, mesh, and synthetic materials, along with the Air Max unit, can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and heat.

What is the material of the mudguard?

The mudguard on these trainers is made of rubber, designed for increased durability and protection against scuffs and abrasion.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent excessive creasing.

Is the black colorway true to the images?

The colorway is described as a sleek black with grey accents. While screen settings can vary, the description indicates a predominantly black design.

Troubleshooting

Tingling or discomfort in the heel.

Ensure the correct UK size is being worn. If the issue persists, consider using thicker socks for added cushioning or insoles if preferred.

Creasing on the leather upper.

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize severe creasing, ensure the shoes fit properly and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Reduced cushioning feel over time.

While the Air Max unit is durable, its responsiveness may decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper care can help maintain the overall comfort.

Difficulty cleaning mesh areas.

Use a soft brush with mild soap and water for stubborn dirt on mesh panels. Blot the area gently and allow to air dry.

Compatibility: The Nike Air Max 90 trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and leather surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): For any suede or nubuck panels, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately if needed.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
