FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on running technology, this model is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear rather than professional athletic performance.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt and a lightly dampened cloth with a mild cleaner specifically formulated for leather.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Nike Air Max 90 generally fits true to size, but the leather construction may feel slightly more snug initially than mesh models.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The leather upper provides some water resistance, but they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the leather.
What is the purpose of the Waffle outsole?
The Waffle outsole design is a Nike heritage feature that provides superior multi-surface traction and long-lasting durability.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners can generally be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Outsole losing traction
Clean debris trapped in the Waffle lug patterns using a stiff-bristled brush.
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes feature high-quality leather, they do not require a complex break-in period, though the material may feel firm initially before molding to your foot shape. For care, keep them clean by using a soft brush to remove dust and a damp cloth for deeper spots. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Always use a leather conditioner periodically to ensure the material remains supple over time.
