FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on running heritage, the Air Max 90 is currently designed as a lifestyle trainer and is better suited for walking and daily wear than competitive running.
How should I clean the textile upper?
Use a gentle cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent. Gently dab the stained area rather than scrubbing to prevent fabric fraying.
Do they provide good arch support?
The foam midsole offers moderate arch support suitable for most casual users, though specific orthotic insoles can be swapped in if needed.
Can I wear them in the rain?
While the leather and synthetic overlays offer some protection, these are not waterproof and it is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the textile components.
Do these shoes run small?
The Air Max 90 typically fits true to size. If you prefer a wider fit or thicker socks, consider trying a half-size up.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather overlays
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Visible Air unit looking cloudy or dirty
Wipe the exterior of the plastic Air unit with a damp microfiber cloth to remove surface dust.
Laces becoming loose frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet to secure the padded collar firmly against your ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 90s stay in top condition, proper maintenance is essential. As these trainers contain leather and synthetic overlays, avoid machine washing, which can damage the materials and adhesives. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. When sizing, note that the Air Max 90 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may find the toe box snug initially due to the leather construction. Always air dry your shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
