Nando de Voer

The Nike Air Max 90 has been an icon in the sneaker world since the 1990s. Yet one question keeps coming up among sneakerheads and casual wearers alike: how does the Air Max 90 actually fit? At Snrkickz, we have seen thousands of pairs, tested and compared them with other Nike models. In this article, you will get a complete picture of the fit, size advice, and what to expect when you add this model to your collection.

Does the Nike Air Max 90 run large or small?

The Air Max 90 generally fits slightly smaller than other Air Max models. This means many wearers recommend going half a size up, especially if you have wide feet. While an Air Max 1 often fits true to size, the Air Max 90 fits more snugly around the instep and forefoot. This is due to the sturdy leather upper and the iconic overlays that provide extra structure but also less flexibility.

Size advice for the Nike Air Max 90

The safest advice is to order half a size larger than your normal shoe size. Especially if you wear the sneaker daily or for extended periods, this offers extra comfort. Have you previously worn an Air Max 1 or Air Max 95? Keep in mind that the fit of the Air Max 90 is tighter.

Is the Air Max 90 suitable for wide feet?

For people with wide feet, the Air Max 90 can feel a bit tight. The shoe is designed with sturdy panels that enclose the foot well. This provides extra stability but can be less comfortable if you need more room. In that case, it is wise to go half a size to even a full size larger. Looking for an Air Max that is better suited for wide feet? Then we recommend the Nike Air Max 1, which is better known for its wider fit.

Should I take a size larger or smaller for the Air Max 90?

The question “should I take a size larger or smaller for the Air Max 90?” is one we see daily. The answer is clear: choose one size larger if you are in doubt. A too tight fit makes the shoe less comfortable, while half a size larger usually compensates perfectly. Thanks to the sturdy heel and midsole of the Air Max 90, the sneaker always remains stable on your foot, even if you have a little more room.

Why choose the Nike Air Max 90?

Besides the fit and comfort, the Air Max 90 remains one of the most beloved sneakers worldwide. The shoe combines retro design with modern wearing comfort, and the iconic Air unit provides cushioning with every step. Moreover, this model is released every season in new colorways, from minimalist whites to striking collaborations.
