Nike Turns the Air Max 90 "Bacon" into A Card Holder

Nike is digging into the archives for more than just sneakers. This time, the iconic Air Max 90 “Bacon” gets a new life in accessory form with the Nike Icon Air Max 90 wallet—built with premium leathers and unmistakable detailing inspired by the fan-favorite colorway.

Just like the original sneaker designed by Dave Ortiz in collaboration with DQM back in 2004, this cardholder boasts the familiar red, pink, white, and brown palette that mimics the shades of a crispy strip of bacon. A layered leather design on the back replicates the side panel and heel counter of the Air Max 90, complete with a window that mimics the model’s Air unit. On the front, clean brown leather brings balance, embossed subtly with a flipped Nike Air Max logo and fitted with three card slots.

Designed for everyday use, this pocket-sized tribute merges nostalgic sneakerhead energy with practical style. Whether you missed out on the original “Bacon” retro in 2021 or just want to flex a lesser-seen form of sneaker culture, the Icon Air Max 90 wallet delivers a tasteful hit of heat.
