At the time of publication, we’re staring down at least three more months of warm weather in the US, so there’s no real pressing deadline on ditching vibrant colors in your rotation. Yet with the far-ahead schedule that brands have to operate on, the summertime newswire has been dominated by next-season styles.

Despite not carrying the usual dose of earthy styles associated with the season, the Nike Air Max 90 “Light Smoke Grey” immediately stands as a fit for the colder climates around the corner. Almost harkening to the signature grey-dominant stylings of the Air Max 95, this colorway cooks up a two-way split between the steely shades up top. We complete the desaturated design with a dose of jet black on the platform underfoot and on branding hits throughout, including the rare appearance of a mini Swoosh on the Tinker Hatfield model.

The Nike Air Max 90 “Light Smoke Grey” is expected as a part of the Swoosh’s Fall 2025 slate, retailing at the usual $135 price point.
