Spring has sprung, and summer’s warm embrace is just around the corner. Nike is ready with a fresh take on the iconic Air Max 90, dropping a colorway bathed in a nature-inspired “Photon Dust” hue.
While classic “Triple White” and “Triple Black” options are staples in the Nike catalog, the brand isn’t afraid to experiment with earthy tones. This Nike Air Max 90 embodies that adventurous spirit, offering a head-to-toe “Photon Dust” treatment for a look that’s both sophisticated and laid-back.
For technical accuracy, it’s worth noting this isn’t a true monochrome affair. The titular “Photon Dust,” a warm, inviting shade of grey, gets subtle variations. The underlying mesh features a slightly lighter application compared to the overlays. Additionally, a crisp white midsole, creamy laces, and faint yellow accents on the medial branding and insole break up the dominance of the grey tones.
The biggest departure from the traditional Nike Air Max 90 construction lies in the material choices. Instead of the usual leather overlays and mudguard, this edition opts for luxurious suede. This might surprise some at first glance, but seasoned Air Max enthusiasts know Nike has experimented with suede before, offering a touch of textural intrigue.
