FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While originally designed for performance running in the '90s, modern athletic technology has evolved. These are best used for lifestyle, walking, and casual wear.
How do I clean the white sections of the midsole?
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent to scrub the foam midsole gently.
Do Air Max 90s fit true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizes, though the leather upper may feel snug initially.
Can I machine wash my Nike Air Max 90s?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the leather material. Always clean them by hand.
What is the purpose of the visible Air unit?
The Max Air unit is designed to provide cushioning and impact protection, which also serves as a signature aesthetic element of the design.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on leather
Use a leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth to gently buff out surface-level scuffs.
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Squeaking sounds while walking
Ensure the insole is properly seated inside the shoe and remove any trapped debris from the outsole tread.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- High-quality leather construction for increased durability
- Excellent cushioning support from the signature Max Air unit
- Reliable grip provided by the classic rubber Waffle outsole
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 90 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for tougher stains, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent leather cracking and maintain the shape of the midsole.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult sizing. If you have a wider foot, you may find the structured leather upper requires a slightly longer break-in period compared to fabric sneakers.
- Weather Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light moisture and stains.
