The Nike Air Max 90 “Waves” Mines “Light Iron Ore”

A calmer take on the concept.

The Nike Air Max 90 “Waves” Mines “Light Iron Ore”

We’re used to collaborators making certain colorways or combinations into reliable formulas for brands in mainline product. What’s a bit more unorthodox is seeing the same take place when it comes to compositional notes, but with the Nike Air Max 90 “Waves,” it appears that Patta has accomplished exactly that.

The Netherlands outfit’s legendary run on the Air Max 1 and Air Max 90 immediately jumped to mind as we saw a two-pack of “Photo Blue” and “Infrared 23” options circulate overseas. This marks the first time we’ve spotted it since, here utilized on a “Light Iron Ore” neutral colorway that understates that hardware change. It’s visible on the eyestays, where the lined, guitar-pick-like geometry takes a woozy turn, obviously a more subtle touch than what Patta introduced but nonetheless a break from run-of-the-mill fare.

The Nike Air Max 90 “Waves” in this “Light Iron Ore” colorway should be coming to Nike.com and partering retailers as part of the ongoing Fall/Winter slate. View official images below and keep an eye on our Sneaker Release Dates page for more info as this launch nears closer.
