After the release of a “Light Bone” colorway earlier this week, Nike is bringing a new look to the Air Max 90 Essential. Dubbed “Tough Red,” this iteration of the sneaker features a variety of materials, with leather making up most of the shoe’s body and overlays of black suede along the side panels. The sneaker also features hits of red on the mesh material along the toe box as well as on the laces and the Swoosh logo along the side. The look is finished off with a white rubber outsole, complete with the Air Max’s signature air bubble beneath the heel.

The Nike Air Max 90 Essential in “Tough Red” is available online through Titolo for $180 USD.
