Nike Air Max 90 – Action Red – Obsidian

The Nike Air Max 90 is like many of the Swoosh Sportswear division’s foundational models in that it tends to release in informal packs with a few different colorways centered around a pattern or theme.  Here’s a case where that tendency gets twisted just a bit as it takes nearly six months for this Action Red and Obsidian pair to arrive in the two-toned canvas build that black and Obsidian editions hit us with all the way back at Valentine’s Day.  This one, ironically, would have been the best color to match that holiday, but you’ve gotta love that NSW was willing to go back to what worked and got this one out in time for the hottest part of summer at stores like Eastbay.
