FAQs
Are these Nike Air Max 90 Trainers suitable for sports activities?
While the Air Max 90s feature advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They provide excellent comfort and support for daily activities, walking, and general urban use, but are not optimized for high-performance sports like running or intense training.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers generally fit true to size. It is recommended to select your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort, especially if you prefer a slightly roomier fit or wear thicker socks.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The upper is constructed from a combination of textile for breathability, along with premium leather and synthetic overlays for durability and structural support. The sole features a lightweight foam midsole and a rubber outsole for traction, with the visible Max Air unit.
Can I put my Nike Air Max 90s in the washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to put your Nike Air Max 90 trainers in a washing machine. The harsh detergents, agitation, and water temperature can damage the materials, adhesives, and the Air unit. Always follow the manual spot cleaning and air drying instructions.
How can I prevent creasing on the leather toe box?
To minimize creasing, avoid wearing shoes that are too large, as excess space can lead to more bending. Using shoe trees when not wearing the trainers can help maintain their original shape. There are also specific crease protectors available that can be inserted into the toe box.
What is the primary benefit of the visible Max Air unit?
The visible Max Air unit provides exceptional cushioning and impact absorption. It helps distribute pressure evenly, offers a responsive feel with a 'bounce' in your step, and retains its shape and performance over time, contributing to superior comfort and reduced fatigue.
Troubleshooting
My trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new shoes, especially those with leather components. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
My white trainers are easily getting dirty or stained.
The white color and mixed materials (leather, mesh) are prone to showing dirt. Regularly wipe them down after each use. For stains, use a mild shoe cleaner and a soft brush, cleaning gently and wiping dry immediately. Applying a protective spray can also help.
The visible Air unit appears cloudy or damaged.
A slight cloudiness can occur over time due to normal wear, but significant damage or deflation indicates a potential defect. Inspect for punctures. If it's a new purchase, consult the retailer or manufacturer's warranty information. Avoid sharp objects and excessive force on the Air unit.
There's a squeaking sound when I walk.
Squeaking often comes from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. A light sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also sometimes help reduce friction.

Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down any dirt or dust with a soft, dry cloth. 2. Spot Cleaning Stains: For stubborn marks or stains on the leather, suede overlays, or mesh, use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water) applied with a soft brush or toothbrush. Gently scrub the affected area in small circular motions. 3. Wipe Clean: Immediately wipe away cleaner and dirt with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid saturating the materials. 4. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources, as this can damage materials. 5. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed materials to add an extra layer of protection against dirt and moisture. 6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
