Nike to Release Two “Mountaineering” Air Max 90s this Summer

The Air Max lineage has visited the ACG department for influence on countless occasions over its history, with this year alone delivering at least half-a-dozen unofficial persuasions. Some have been more rugged and direct than others, but Nike’s next installment of the Air Max line looks to up the altitude — literally — with a duo of “Mountaineering” Air Max 90s on the way.

The releases upgrade with a slew of loops, a utilitarian lace toggle, loosely-woven mesh uppers, and other heavy-duty enhancements. Mudguards and medial upper eyelets arrive in a ballistic mesh-like fabrication, while profile brand panels have been swapped out for metallic hardware. Medial ankles also feature a sleek metallic finish before the pair’s DIY utilitarian flair comes back into play by-way-of exposed reinforced stitching and outdoor-inspired laces. Two pairs are on the way, on in a mix of tan, orange, green, and a larger selection of earth tones, the other in Light Bone, Platinum Tine, and Neon Green, but a release date for both is not yet known.

As always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates. Until then, enjoy a detailed look at the “Team Gold” offering below, and a first, brief look at the pack’s “Light Bone” release below.

In other Air Max 90 news, Nike is delivering another “Cuban Link” release — this time constructed in patent leather.
