As we move slowly but surely into Autumn and Winter, Nike is preparing us for the treacherous weather ahead. Now the third colorway for the silhouette — as well as the accompanying collection of Air Max 97s — this Air Max 90 is the latest semi-winterized effort from the Swoosh, and what better way to do up a sneaker for the stormy seasons than in ominous black.
Constructed with miserable weather in mind, this ripstop-riddled Air Max 90 turns down the contrast on its previous pairs, with each panel arriving in tonal blacks. The toe-to-midfoot overlays opt for a new nubuck finish, while the mudguard continues the pack’s use of a hardened textured finish. Breaking free from a traditional triple black aesthetic, the pair comes poped with bright white laces, tongue branding, and heel Nike logos, while pops of Sport Red round out the design at the vamp’s mini Swoosh, lateral branding, and rear AIR lettering.
Grab an official look at this new winterized Air Max 90 in detail below, and look for these to hit select Swoosh retailers and Nike.com over the Summer season for the standard $120 price point. For further updates on the drop, make sure you’re tuned into our Twitter feed for updates.
