The Next Nike Air Max 90 Comes in Black, Navy, and Gum

In the ever-evolving world of sneakers, no designer has left as lasting a legacy as Tinker Hatfield. His innovative approach to footwear design has given us iconic models like the Air Jordan 3, Air Max 1, and Air Max 90, all of which continue to captivate sneaker enthusiasts years after their initial release.

The latest iteration of the latter arrives in a striking Black, Midnight Navy, White, and Gum color scheme. This pair is a testament to the enduring popularity of the silhouette and its ability to adapt to contemporary tastes while staying true to its heritage.

At the core of this design is a black mesh upper that provides a sleek and modern backdrop for the contrasting elements. Navy nubuck overlays and smooth black leather guards add depth and structure to the shoe, creating a visually compelling interplay of textures. The same hues extend to the eyestays and branded panels, creating a cohesive two-tone color palette.

The blue mesh tongues and black suede vamps maintain the dynamic duo of navy and black, further enhancing the visual impact of the design. To provide a sense of balance, stark white accents are introduced on the Swoosh overlays, brand markings, laces, and midsoles, while navy Air cassettes and gum rubber outsoles round out the design.
