It’s always a pleasant time of year in late February, a time where sneaker brands begin to unveil their softly-hued releases for Spring. Easter palettes and lightly saturated colors bring an overwhelming sense of anticipation for much warmer weather — something we’re all looking forward to. The next to appear is a perfect example of a Spring staple — a tonal mint Air Max 90 — but despite its simplicity, it arrives elevated through some finer touches.
Colorwise, it’s as simple as it gets; a completely tonal mint green upper is met by white midsoles, light green outsoles, and slightly more saturation on the tongue and heel branding hits. The latter is embellished by a decorative floral design — also tonal. While that gout our curiosity, it was the construction that gained our attention. A highly sueded, thick leather upper is met by subtle changes to heaver suede at the Swoosh and vamp — all materials that will look better with wear.
Though seasons come and go, this simple-yet-stunning Air Max 90 will be a pair that remains in vogue for each and every Spring to come. Though a release date is yet to be revealed, pairs have already become available at select markets in Asia, so a Stateside release shouldn’t be too far into the future. Until more news arrives, you can enjoy an official look at the pair here below, and be sure to keep your eyes locked on our official Twitter account for further updates.
