The Nike Air Max 90 transcends eras with its timeless silhouette and in 2023 Nike is bringing the people an all-black colorway. This iteration utilizes a blend of different materials, including mesh, leather, and nubuck, to create a visual esthetic worthy of praise from the Opiumesque crowd. All black outfits are in style thanks to self proclaimed rockstar Playboi Carti and his label Opium.
Touches of grey are strategically placed throughout the pair to add an added layer of depth. The tumbled leather Swooshes and tongue tags feature a refined grey hue, as do the Nike branding on the heels, tongues, and insoles. These carefully positioned grey accents break up the monochromatic black palette, creating a balanced and visually appealing composition. The attention to detail extends to the midsole, which boasts a grey rubber construction. This midsole serves as a foundation for the iconic cassette Air Max unit, providing another level of comfort. 3M reflective detailing is incorporated into the laces, tongue labels, and Swooshes. The final touch to this Nike Air Max 90 masterpiece is the gum rubber outsole. Its contrasting texture and color bring a sense of depth and versatility to the sneaker, elevating its overall aesthetic.
The Nike Air Max 90 Black Gum is expected to hit the scene August 5th, 2023 for $130 via Nike.com and select Nike retailers. The pair is expected to release in full family sizing.
