Every year around this time, Nike Shoes begins to experiment with color and tie-dye. And while the Air Jordan 1 took the charge back in 2020, it seems the Air Max 90 will soon take the mantle later this season. Blue and red are at the helm here. The latter, which is inarguably the boldest of the two, dresses the entirety of the mudguard, spotted sparingly with greyed spirals. Above, the toe quarter panel bears a similar execution though in the alternate shade; its distressing, however, is a dark neutral all the same. To fill in the blanks, the Swoosh took the easy route: the thick, mesh foundation, lace unit, lining, and even the entire midsole are all dyed a deep black.
After trading blows with Travis Scott in its “Dark Mocha” colorway, the Air Jordan 4 is soon to bring things back to the basics. This “Tech Grey” rendition, which garnered quite a bit of buzz upon its reveal months ago, will release on May 29th to likely roaring applause. Thanks to Chris Colgan, we’ve caught what is quite possibly the best in-person look at the release yet. And though it may pale in comparison to certain OGs, the offering is certainly one of the most versatile appearances this year thus far. In design, white shades dominate the majority of the construction, dressing both the leather base as well as the overlays along the profile and heel. Light touches of grey, then, accent adjacent, their exteriors lightly embellished with a dark, contrast paint splatter. Elsewhere along the tongue, the Jumpman branding hues a bold red, injecting the only bit of color visible from the outside.
Throughout its 31-year-history, the Nike Air Max 90 has emerged in ensembles inspired by everything from bacon to bubbles. For its latest proposition, Tinker Hatfield’s design has indulged in a black and orange colorway informed by leather sports balls – football or rugby. At a glance, the forthcoming pair resembles a Halloween-ready option with its dark color scheme: patent leather, suede, mesh and TPU detailing across the upper boast all-black makeups. Closer inspection, however, reveals a brown and white graphic on the tongue label reminiscent of old school rugby balls or standard ones for American football. Profile swooshes also indulge in a spotted brown arrangement, coupled with white contrast stitching. Lacing, collar lining and “NIKE AIR” branding on the heel follow suit, as does the midsole (Air Max unit included). Underfoot, waffle-patterned outsoles deliver a vibrant orange tone.
