FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Air Max 90 generally fits true to size, though the leather upper may feel slightly snug initially before breaking in.
Can I use these for intense running?
While originally designed for performance running, modern technical runners provide more advanced support; these are best suited for lifestyle and casual walking.
How do I keep the white midsoles clean?
A magic eraser sponge or a mix of mild detergent and a toothbrush is effective for spot-cleaning the white midsole sections.
Is the leather upper water-resistant?
The leather offers natural protection against light moisture, but it is not waterproof and should be treated with a leather protector spray for best results.
Does the Air Max unit ever deflate?
The Max Air unit is a pressurized component; while highly durable, avoiding sharp objects or extreme punctures will keep the cushioning intact for years.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, the laces can be replaced with any standard athletic lace, provided the length matches the original eyelet configuration.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe retain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
Squeaking sounds while walking
Check the interior for debris or trapped moisture; sometimes a small amount of talcum powder beneath the removable insole can eliminate friction noise.
Stains on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft cloth, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure colorfastness.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Air Max 90 is constructed with full-grain leather, it is important to avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish and integrity of the material. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking. If you are replacing insoles, ensure the new orthotics fit within the specific low-cut architecture of the shoe to maintain proper comfort levels.
