Following the celebration of its 30th anniversary in 2020, Nike’s classic Air Max 90 is poised to continue its strong momentum into the brand new year. One of the options that’s set to hit the shelves here shortly is the Air Max 90 “Hot Coral” which will be returning in OG form.

Everything from its color palette to its shape is meant to resemble that of the original variation from 1987 when it was initially given the “Air Max 3” moniker.

From front to back, this Nike Sportswear rendition leaves most of its mesh underlays and toe tip/mid-foot overlays to an angelic finish, which is effective in this case as the colored accents are given to soak up all of the attention. On the more vibrant side, you’ll find bursts of pink and blue accents, the former affixing to the Swooshes and heel branding while the latter submerges the lower eye stay, heel block, and mid-foot window. Moreover, soft grey hues are also brought the table and coat the eye stay closest to the ankle as well as the mudguards.

As for the bottom piece, the midsoles are dialed to white, while complements of blue rear molds and pink Air units follow suit. More notes of pink also poke out through the front of the treading.

Currently, these are slated to release via Nike Korea on January 27 for $140 USD. A stateside drop hasn’t been announced yet.

In case you missed it, official photos of the Nike Dunk Low “Firecracker” have emerged.
