For the upcoming summer season, the fan-favorite Nike Air Max 90 has been dressed in both weather-appropriate vivid brights and soft pastels. But an upcoming pair deviates from these schemes to deliver a greyscale look complete with premium materials.

Instead of the common textile or smooth leather builds, black canvas composes the upper of this new style. Suede, dark grey overlays wrap around the sides and the toe to introduce another texture while also maintaining the dark color palette. The usual leather mudguards are swapped out for black suede ones, furthering the mixed-materials theme. White swooshes in a rugged, pebbled leather makeup adorn the sides yet the leather piping detail applied to the tongue are in a more refined black smooth leather. TPU accents and a Waffle outsole broach familiarity while rounding out the look.

Take a closer look at the Air Max 90 below, which will be available at the listed retailers in the near future with a price tag of $120.
