Elliot Santiago With only three months left to go in terms of celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Nike Air Max 90 is in preparation to roll out many a new inline colorway before the year concludes. After dropping its classical “Laser Blue” and “Eggplant” colorways to the stateside crowd today, the silhouette is now taking a moment to introduce its newest variation entitled the Air Max 90 Surplus.
Save for the extended tongue and heel loops, its overall shape is kept consistent to the classic lifestyle runner, but it arrives upgraded with a more utilitarian design approach as its uppers have been reinforced with CORDURA fabric. Given that we’re settling into Fall/Winter, this seems like a more strategic decision on the Swoosh’s behalf as these will be able to combat the upcoming colder/wetter seasons. Other additions to the model include that of the remixed tongue logos that spell out “90 Surplus”, as well as the miniature Swoosh logos fastened to the medial forefoot. Alongside tan and olive colorways, this “Triple Black” pair with subtle notes “Infrared” is set to release in the coming weeks on Nike.com for $150 USD.
Elsewhere under the Swoosh umbrella, a duo of paisley Offspring Converse Chuck 70 Hi colorways are dropping soon.
