Nike‘s Air Max 90 has become a legend in the sneaker world, revered for its innovative cushioning technology and endlessly adaptable design. The shoe’s signature silhouette has served as the canvas for countless colorways over the years, with variations to suit every taste and style. The latest iteration to join the Air Max 90 family features a vibrant “Malachite” green hue for a refreshing take on this iconic sneaker.
The “Malachite” Air Max 90 uses a black and white base for a clean foundation. The black takes center stage, gracing the mudguard and quarter panel, which is constructed with a touch of luxurious suede for a premium feel. Pops of malachite green appear throughout the upper for a touch of personality. TPU accents on the heel and fender window showcase the vibrant green, while the lower eyelet receives a similar treatment. White serves as a contrasting backdrop on the midsole wedge and toe box, allowing the green accents to really pop. In keeping with the classic Air Max design language, the visible air unit in the midsole is also infused with “malachite” to complete the color scheme and nod to the brand’s heritage of visible cushioning technology.
Green-oriented Air Max 90s have a long history, ranging from earthy, nature-inspired tones to bold and sporty hues. This particular “Malachite” iteration leans towards the latter. The rich, emerald green hue injects a shot of energy into the shoe, making it a standout choice for those looking for a sneaker that combines classic design with a contemporary twist.
While a release date has yet to be officially announced, sneaker enthusiasts can expect the “Malachite” Air Max 90 to hit shelves at select Nike retailers and online soon.
