Nike Air Max 90 - Black - Size UK 9

While the Air Max 90 has its heritage in performance running from the 1990s, modern running shoe technology has advanced significantly. Today, they are primarily designed as comfortable lifestyle sneakers, excellent for everyday wear, walking, and light activity, but they are not recommended for serious or long-distance running.

Nike Air Max 90s generally fit true to size for most individuals. We recommend trying them on if possible. If you are unable to try them on, refer to Nike's official size chart. If you are typically between sizes, consider ordering your usual athletic shoe size.

No, machine washing is strongly discouraged as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system of your shoes. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section of this guide to properly clean and preserve your Air Max 90s.

Max Air cushioning features large, visible air units that are specifically engineered to absorb impact effectively and provide maximum comfort and bounce. It's designed for durable, lightweight cushioning that delivers a responsive feel with every step, enhancing overall comfort.

For white leather or synthetic sections, use a mild soap and water solution applied with a soft brush or cloth, gently scrubbing. For stubborn scuffs on rubber or foam areas, a 'magic eraser' type sponge can be used gently, but always test it on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure it doesn't cause damage or discoloration.

Yes, the Nike Air Max 90 is well-regarded for its durability. The combination of a textile upper with robust stitched leather and synthetic overlays, along with a resilient rubber Waffle outsole, ensures the shoe can withstand regular wear and tear for a considerable period.

This can sometimes occur due to air trapped between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and then reinserting it firmly. If the squeak persists, it might be due to minor friction within the sole unit itself and often resolves with continued wear.

Adjust your lacing. If too tight, systematically loosen the laces from the bottom eyelets upwards. If too loose, tighten them from the bottom up and ensure you tie a secure knot. Consider trying different lacing patterns or experimenting with thinner or thicker socks if the fit issue persists.

These marks are often salt stains from dried sweat or water. Create a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Apply it lightly with a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth, and allow the shoes to air dry.

Ensure the Waffle outsole is clean and free of any embedded debris, as accumulated dirt can reduce traction. Regular cleaning of the outsole helps maintain its grip. If the sole appears worn smooth in areas, this indicates typical wear and tear over time, which naturally reduces traction.
