Chi-town is the latest American city to be afforded their own Air Max 90s. Featuring a series
Quite possibly the most desirable retro colorway of all time is coming back once again in 2008.
The recent surfacing of Nike’s pack of sneakers referencing all-time favorites left many fans wanting more beyond the preliminary one-angle image. Having said that, here’s a further look into the “King of the Mountain” Air Max 90 inspired largely in part by the Air Mowabb of generations past. The use of the symbolic colorway draws immediate association with the old ACG model. Lots of details can be seen on these 90s from the two sets of laces to clear midsole. Many shops are looking to release these before the end of the month so check your local Quickstrike dealer for availability, however be certain that STANDARD will be releasing their shipment sometime next week.

In my mind, no way anybody can hate on these upcoming Nike Air Maxs, featuring colorways referencing some of Nike’s all-time favorites in the Air Safari and Air Mowabb. For those who have never had the chance to grab a pair of Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 B, the Safari’s are a more then suitable substitute. Allegedly within this pack is also the Air Stab Runnin’ Gunnin’. According to Wellgosh, a release date is set for June 27th.
Completing our trifecta of upcoming Air Max 90 release from Nike is this three pack of sneakers. In essence they aren’t really a true pack as they are loosely affiliated only by their patent side bumper and mesh toeboxs. First up is an all white runners classic with the main highlight coming from a brightly colored sole. Next up are black/gold and red/white joints which are more closely related with the use of ostrich leather on the upper. Nike seems to have really begun to ditch the leather toeboxes which many Air Max fans were beefing about. Look for these to land in Nike accounts in the very near future.
Up against the Air Max 90 Flywire, the Air Max 90 Current has perhaps been the early winner in fan support for the Air Max 90 Contemporary segment. Although not as technologically advanced as its lightweight counterpart, the Air Max 90 Current wins out mainly for his dedication to the original Air Max 90 on an aesthetics level, even staying true with an OG colorway rendition. The Air Max 90 Current features an ultra breathable toebox and upper due to the prominent use of mesh with the addition of a Nike Free sole for better running development. Look for these to hit select Nike dealers in coming weeks.
At the recent Nike Sportswear launch in Beijing, among the upcoming showcases were a series of Air Max 90s. Display alongside re-designed styles of the classic Air Max 90 such as the Flywire AM90 and AM90 Current were a further preview of these Air Max 90 Premiums. Devoid of the technical innovation like the contemporary Air Max styles, Fly Wire and Current, these Premiums aren’t without their own merits as the quality constriction is marked by the use of multiple materials on the upper. The upper is comprised of rip-stop nylon, texturized rubber and felt on the toebox. Look for these to hit select Nike lifestyle dealers in the coming weeks.
At the time of its release, the Air Max 90 was at the pinnacle of technological developments in the realm of sports. Nevertheless, the last 18 years has yielded more than its fair share of innovation from Nike resulting in the creation of the Air Max 90 Current. The shoe features an updated platform including revamped upper and sole to create a more performance orientated product with a strong sense vintage aesthetics which many have come to love.
Continually pushing the envelope of athletic performance, Flywire technology was another testament to the Bill Bowerman legacy of shaving weight off the tools athletes take to their sports each day. The narrow stripes offer support in the appropriate amounts and areas, without creating excess waste and mass. The Air Max 90 Flywire features a familiar profile in the Air Max 90 but with the added bonus of an overall lighter product without foregoing the necessary support.
The Nike Air Max 90 Infrared alongside the Air Max 95 Neon are models which have represented the two most popular OG colorways from the ever significant Air Max collection of footwear from Nike. Despite the inception of visible Air Unit goodness in 1987 with the Air Max 1, the effect began to reach paramount levels in 1990 with the release of the Infrared 90. Twenty years since the original release and the re-branding of a segment of Nike’s leisure/lifestyle brand on the horizon, the legend has been revisited. Embodying the similar aesthetics from the past, the Air Max 90 for 2008 features updated technical and performance aspects to revive the high performing aspect of the Air Max collection in a more contemporary setting.
Large British sneaker retailer JD Sports has often been afforded the opportunity of creating special JD Sports exclusive models as well as being the sole jump off point for re-retro’d classics like the Air Max 95 Neon. To satisfy the Air Max pallet of fellow UKers, JD has recently released this exclusive Sunburst/Dutch Blue Air Max 90. The upper of the shoe cannot be overlooked with the inclusion of the popular material choice mesh seen on the toebox while the rest of the sneaker is balanced out by cohesive mix of orange and blue. Available now at JD Sports.
The latest Nike models to go under the knife in Nike’s ongoing hybrid project is the Air Max 90 and the ACG Humara. The familiar upper of the Air Max 90 includes the use of the Humara’s lace loops and heel straps. The bottom half of the shoe features a full-length Air Max unit with speckled midsole. No word yet on availability or release dates but stay tuned for more details.
