Nike and DC Comics have never come together for an official collaboration, yet the Caped Crusader has more ties to Beaverton than you might think. Most prominent in that category is the special retoolings of the Air Jordan 6 and Air Trainer III for Michael Keaton’s Batman Returns. Additionally, the Dark Knight’s ineffable black and yellow combination continues to drape Nike seasonal product with regularity, once again the case with the Nike Air Max 90 “Batman.”

Certainly additional gold-on-black monikers (“Steelers” chief among them) would’ve applied here, but the addition of ripstop panelling as a foundation makes the grungy, crime-fighting lean all the more fitting. Flashes of “Buff Gold” on branding hits throughout the shoe, including a forefoot mini-Swoosh and the “Nike Air” tag on the heel, further reinforcing the comic book ties and brightening up the profile a bit in the process.

Moreover, this mainline look lands among a crowded group of colorways coming to light, a major push no doubt aligning with the silo’s 35th anniversary. Taken alongside the Air Max 90 “Camo Pack” and Air Max 90 “Racing,” this “Batman” do-up ensures that there’ll be plenty of options for Air Max 90 purists throughout 2025. The Nike Air Max 90 “Batman” is expected to land in the near future, arriving with the usual $130 sticker price.

Elsewhere in our coverage, Jordan Releases 2025 are fully underway, with the Air Jordan 4 “Aluminum” emerging as a major one on our radar.
