The Nike Air Max 90 needs no introduction. It’s a legend in the sneaker world, instantly recognizable with its visible Air unit and a silhouette that’s transcended generations. As the shoe approaches its 35th birthday next year, Nike is keeping the momentum going with a new in-line colorway that injects a shot of classic flair into the iconic design.
This iteration of the Air Max 90 ditches the flashy for a more subtle, yet undeniably striking, approach. The upper is constructed from a luxurious grey suede, offering a premium feel that elevates the shoe from everyday wear to something a little more special. The iconic Swoosh gets the same suede treatment, while a bold black leather mudguard adds a touch of contrast and reinforces the shoe’s structure.
Pops of red strategically placed throughout the shoe add a touch of vibrancy without overwhelming the overall aesthetic. The forefoot lace eyelets, the Air Max unit window, and the heel medallion all receive a red treatment, injecting a dose of energy that keeps the design from feeling too muted.

Functionality remains a priority. A breathable sport mesh covers the toe box and ankle, ensuring proper ventilation, while the tongue utilizes a unique, chain-link fence textured mesh for a touch of visual intrigue. The black midsole, a staple of the Air Max 90, provides cushioning, and the rubber outsole ensures durability and traction.
Retailing for $130 this fall at Nike.com and select retailers, this Nike Air Max 90 “Grey/Red” is a strong contender for a must-have fall sneaker.
