Iconic 1990 running-inspired sneaker with visible heel Air unit. Mesh and leather upper in classic colorblocked design, waffle rubber outsole.
ABest Cushioning
The Air Max 90 is a near-perfect design that Nike has barely touched since 1990, which says everything. The visible heel Air unit provides genuine cushioning you can feel after a full day on your feet. The mesh-and-leather upper ages reasonably well, and the waffle outsole grips better than most lifestyle sneakers. It reads as more athletic than the Samba but less technical than the 990v6 โ a middle path that many wardrobes suit well.
Pros
- Visible Air unit provides noticeable all-day cushioning
- Durable mesh/leather upper combination
- Classic silhouette that doesn't date badly
Cons
- Bulkier silhouette than low-profile lifestyle shoes
- Some colorways look dated quickly
