Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air Max 90 is a classic choice for adults seeking a blend of heritage running style and modern comfort. These trainers provide significant support through visible Air cushioning and a durable Waffle sole, making them an excellent daily-wear option. While the premium leather construction offers a sophisticated aesthetic, users should note that the structured design requires a short break-in period compared to more flexible mesh alternatives.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Air Max 90 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While these are inspired by running roots, modern athletic technology has advanced; these are best suited for lifestyle and casual walking.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium, durable leather with stitched overlays for structural support.
How do I maintain the leather?
Keep the leather clean by wiping away dust regularly and apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking.
Is the sole non-slip?
The Waffle outsole is designed for standard urban traction, but caution should be used on extremely wet or polished surfaces.
Does the visible Air unit require special care?
Avoid walking through sharp debris that could puncture the Air unit; otherwise, standard cleaning is sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape.
Stiff fit upon first wear
Wear them for short periods around the house to gradually soften the leather before extended outdoor use.
Visible dirt on grey or black sections
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth, then dry immediately with a clean microfiber towel.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 90s last, it is recommended to use a moisture-repellent spray specifically designed for leather before the first wear. Since these are performance-inspired trainers, they pair well with both technical joggers and denim. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the leather finish and the structural integrity of the sole unit. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and the color quality.
