Although the Nike Air Max 90 debuted thirty-three years ago, the silhouette continues to play an important role in the Swoosh’s lineup of products. Ahead of spring and summer, Tinker Hatfield’s iconic design has emerged in a “Black’ and “University Blue” ensemble.

Akin to other recent Air Max propositions, the upcoming style predominantly boasts a pitch-dark arrangement throughout its upper and sole unit. The bulk of the offering indulges in materials reminiscent of the original AM90 from decades-past, save for suede construction throughout the upper. Contrasting rich blue flair appears via branding on the sneaker, as well as the visible Airbag underfoot. Together, each aforementioned component helps create a simple, but compelling makeover for the storied model.

Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a nike.com launch in the first-half of 2023.
