The Nike Air Max 90 "Light Thistle" is Available Now

The Nike Air Max 90, a silhouette that has effortlessly blurred the lines between performance running and streetwear style since the early 90s, embraces the summer with a refreshingly elegant colorway dubbed "Light Thistle." This variant marries the Air Max 90's iconic black, grey, and white color blocking with a delightful touch of pastel purple, reinvigorating the classic for the season.

The arrangement of black, grey, and white hues is reminiscent of the original “Infrared” and “Neon” versions, but the subtle inclusion of “Light Thistle” sets this pair apart in a contemporary realm. The sneaker's upper is crafted with a crisp white mesh base layer, artfully contrasted by dark grey suede overlays and rubberized eye stays. Jet-black elements grace the tongue and leather mid-foot panel, adding depth to the construction and rounding off with the heel tab branding.

However, the star of this ensemble is undoubtedly the "Light Thistle" hue. This soft pastel purple delicately wraps around the Air Max bubble and onto the Swooshes and Air Max logo. This pop of color adds a fresh and airy feel and effortlessly elevates the sneaker's overall aesthetic.
