Nike’s official relationship with 3M, though kicked off with relatively simple debuts, is gradually inching further into utilitarianism. While the releases prior only added atop silver reflective, the Air Max 90 soon to arrive sees to an aesthetic seemingly inspired by construction work and the hi-vis aesthetic that runs replete across the necessary equipment.
As such, bright oranges steal the eye even despite their sparing usage. Diagonal stripes accent in said warm tone, wrapping the profile in complement to the textured laces, inner cushioning, and the branding at both the tongue and heel. Elsewhere, more robust suedes and leathers construct below, the former across the mudguard in black while the latter forms to the shape of Swoosh and the grey that seats the toe cap and vamp. Quilted toe boxes then layer underneath a synthetic component while hammered metallic stamps the collar with a visually sturdy assembly.
