Some shoes are easy. You don’t need to think too hard about them. They work for almost anything and they have a style of putting together their clothes without trying too hard. It’s the Nike Air Max 90. It has been around since 1990, but somehow I still feel it today. It has its thick, but too thick, shape, a great mix of materials that will help Nike continue to drop new colorways that we didn’t need.
This is also a very comfortable shoe. If you’re thinking about grabbing a pair (and another pair), here are some of the colorways that are currently available.
Infrared
This is the one-color combo that started it all. It is an original release from 1990 and still one of the most loved ones. The infrared colorway features red accents over white mesh and black leather. It’s sporty and nostalgic and somehow you can go with everything. If you’re buying just one pair of AM90s, this might be one pair.
Triple White
All-white sneakers are not groundbreaking, but they are reliable. The Triple White AM90 is a clean, fresh pair that arrives when you want to make your outfit look casual even when you pull it together. They are easy to wear on everything – avoid muddy trails. They are not built for confusion, but they look great while they last.
Desert Sand
This is a neutral sneaker that’s not boring. Desert Sand Mix ripstop stones, tan suede and sandy leather with laser etch details that look like a small topographic map. The colours of burnt orange and dark purple make you feel sick, but not loud. They look good with cargo pants and leaning blazers – essentially, they are the best cool girl sneakers.
Laser Blue
The bright but wearable Laser Blue is one of the colorways that makes people ask where they got their sneakers. The electric blue pop against white, gray and black is bold and fun. It feels retro, but it’s not outdated.
Multicolored pastel
This is for a playful crowd. These naiks are all about soft pastels, lavender, mint and peaches. It’s a kind of shoe that’s perfect for spring and embraces all the colorful foury trends. It looks great with denim, midi skirts or matching pastel sets.
Black/Bolt
If your style leans a little more on the streetwear or you leaned like a bold contrast, this is definitely worth checking out. The black upper grounds things, while the green accents on the bolt add color. This makes you seem to know what you’re doing without trying too hard. Plus, they are prone to dirt, making them a great pair for any occasion.
Final Thoughts
The Nike Air Max 90 has a range. There is a neutral, bold colour, or something in between, perhaps a colorway that works for you. And the shape is timeless so you can wear it even after trends change.
