Despite 35 years in existence, the Air Max 90 has still proven itself to be one of the most versatile sneakers in history. Just on a colorway standpoint, Nike has managed to demonstrate its adaptability to newer trends, but let it be known: the Air Max 90 was always the trend.

This latest colorway is most certainly a star option for those who gravitate towards earthy tones. There’s a huge community of sneaker-enthused individuals that prefer browns and khakis, and this upcoming Spring 2025 release seemingly arrives with that sub-community in mind. Light Bone and Cave Stone are two shades that the Swoosh has been returning to regularly, but it’s that addition of the stunnin yellow Chamois on the Air housing and eyelets that gives the silhouette a bit of that pop that every sneaker needs.

2025 also marks the 35th Anniversary of the Air Max 90. It’s indeed a milestone worth recognizing, although not as significant as what Nike plans for the Air Max 95. Still, the 9o belongs in any rotation. Catch these on Nike.com soon for $130.
