FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature Air Max cushioning, the 2090 is designed primarily for casual lifestyle wear rather than performance running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaning solution for tougher stains. Avoid harsh detergents.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult trainer sizing. If you have wider feet, you may prefer a half-size larger due to the structure of the leather.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While leather provides some water resistance, it is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water staining or damage to the materials.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, most Air Max models come with a removable insole, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or a color-matched leather cream to buff out minor surface abrasions.
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 2090s last, it is essential to treat the leather properly. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt after each wear to prevent buildup. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a specialized leather cleaner and a microfiber cloth for spot treatments. Store the trainers in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the red and blue colorway. For sizing, ensure you verify your UK size, as these trainers are manufactured specifically to standard adult sizing dimensions.
