If this shoe was to be anything like the Air Max’s that debuted before it, it would have a stiff sole with the Air unit feeling like a wedge underneath the heel of your foot, but this could not be further from the truth. The sole unit of the Air Max 2090 is just as, if not more impressive than the upper, featuring a foam midsole in the front of the sneaker, and a large encased Air unit in the heel. The upper easily molds on your foot for maximum comfort and breathability, making them an excellent shoe gym or casual wear. Other details worth mentioning are the synthetic overlays around the tongue and laces to give the sneaker some durability, and reflective 3M accents on both the pull tab and the shoe’s eye stays, which will flash depending on their proximity to a light source. Influence on the upper, as the 2090 features a similar leather mudguard on both the medial and lateral sides and a similar TPU accent on the heel of the sneaker. As previously mentioned, the sneaker takes inspiration from the Air Max 90, and you can see this Whilst in photos this covering looks similar to a ripstop material, you can see the holes in the mesh when you have the shoe in the hand, which does make the model very breathable,but also sadly means it is not waterproof. The Air Max 2090 comes in a nylon base upper similar to the adidas Avryn, with mesh on the tongue and heel, and a transparent plastic mesh on top. Out of the box they look very modern, futuristic and they feel great on foot right away, no need to break them in. As well as certainly catching people’s eye, this bold color scheme perfectly accented the upper’s multiple layers and segments, creating a vibrant and beautiful looking sneaker. The Air Max 2090 is currently available in an infinite number of colorways, thanks to Nike’s “By You” feature which lets you customize certain sneakers, but we picked up a pair in a Magma Orange, Eggplant, and Habanero Red colorway. That is where the Air Max 2090 came in, as a modernized version of the classic sneaker, that could serve as possibly the Air Max sneaker that Gen-Z might be able to feel nostalgic about in another 30 years. In a promotional video for the shoe, Nike stated that the current generation was younger than the Air Max 90 and had therefore not been able to grow up with it as a staple of pop culture like the generation before them had.
Originally revealed to LeBron James’ 70 million Instagram followers a couple of weeks before its public release, the Air Max 2090 is said to be an improved and refined take on the classic Air Max 90, which turned 30 this year. Every year Nike brings out a new Air Max silhouette on March the 6th, a date that has come to be known as Air Max Day, and this year we saw the release of the Air Max 2090. With some of the Nike Air Max 2090 colorways going on sale recently I was finally able to try on a pair and review its features.
