Jovani Hernandez Although the Nike Air Max 90 was expected to dress up in a plethora of notable arrangements for its 30th Anniversary, the Tinker Hatfield-designed silhouette has surprised enthusiasts with some of its ensembles. Among the more impressive makeups have been several rugged builds of the once-running staple. Case in point: A forthcoming pair clad in “Desert” and constructed from CORDURA® fabric.
While undoubtedly an Air Max, the upcoming proposal modifies the beloved 30-year-old design under the “Surplus” edition. Pull tabs are added to both the tongue and heel, with the former also donning non-standard embossed branding. Rope laces and the surrounding area further indulge in the tan palette, but reinforcement around the toe boasts a vibrant “Safety Orange” hue. Right shoes don a black tag denoting the aforementioned famed nylon material, sitting above a leather swoosh. Underfoot, midsoles don’t deviate much from their standard composition, but outsoles feature much more jagged tread for enhanced grip in tougher conditions.
Enjoy official images of the Air Max 90 Surplus here below, and expect pairs to arrive to Nike.com before 2020 ends.
