Jewel Swooshes Bring A “Black/Yellow” Treatment To The Nike Air Max 90

For 26 years Nike’s expansive lifestyle archives have been dressed with bulbous Jewel Swooshes. This coming summer the Beaverton brand is exploring the bejeweled design with a bit more gusto as the logo drifts away from its Air Force 1 introduction and towards the Nike Air Max 90.

Previously attributing a touch of blue within a clad-greyscale ensemble, the iconic Tinker Hatfield design simultaneously assumes a role in the upcoming “Black/Yellow” colorway series that recently appeared on a Dunk Low and Air Max 97. As such, a collection of ballistic mesh, rubber and tumbled leather assumes an all-out tonal jet-black upper. Save the bright yellow tongue tab and insoles, a complimentary touch of charcoal surround the Air bag underfoot while accenting the mid-foot Swoosh and tread. White is reserved to illuminate the midsole with monochrome flavor while the interior tooling of the Max Air cushioning system receives a seldom yellow injection in closing.

Release date information has yet to be announced, so in the meantime enjoy official images of the Nike Air Max 90 Jewel “Black/Yellow” below.

For more lifestyle offerings from the Beaverton brand, the latest Nike Air Max 1 ’86 is receiving a textured redesign at the hand of Nike Korea.
