Despite its numerous iterations, Nike manages to give its Air Max 90 Essential a fresh upgrade in gym red, black and white. The colorblocked theme gives it a more modern look — especially the bright red hues — while the overall design holds true to the sneaker’s original DNA. Comprised of various materials including mesh and leather, the sneaker incorporates flexibility and comfort throughout the upper, along with its signature air bubble sole. Additionally, bold branding on the side, heel and Swoosh logo stand out against the rest of the shoe. This version of the Air Max 90 Essential is available at retailers like Caliroots now.
