Air max 20908/28/2023 ![]() The back of the shoe has a ton of padding on the heel. The red stitching is on the mud-guard, which is another element borrowed from the original Air Max 90, but this time around it’s a white synthetic plastic material which runs across both sides of the shoe. Towards the back of this area, there’s an air logo in lowercase and cut off halfway. Like the Air Max 90, the swoosh here is slightly cut off at the bottom, which is accented with this red stitching. Moving on to the mid-panel, there’s a black Nike swoosh outline that is embedded within the outer layer. The insoles are the usual Air Max insoles, which are in black, and with 2090 printed on top towards the heel and the Nike swoosh in cyan. Underneath the laces, there’s black mesh tongue, which has a strange rubberized ring inside a diagonal cutout, the Nike swoosh, and the lowercase air logo which are cut off halfway. This is a weird design element and I’m not really sure what it’s supposed to do, but it looks cool - kind of.Ĭoming to the inside of the shoe, there’s a black sock-liner and you’ll notice it’s a one piece, internal bootie construction, and the tongue is attached. The lacing and eyelets are in a loop style mechanism where the black, flat laces intertwine through them. It’s also accented with a neat cyan blue stitching that I really like. You’ll see a similar kind of fused overlay near the lacing area, surrounding the eyelets, to strengthen the durability of the upper. Towards the toe box area there’s an additional layer of protection to prevent your toenails from poking through the mesh, and it has a slightly glossy finish to distinguish itself. ![]() This textile liner goes right up against your feet, and generally feels okay but doesn’t really have as much stretch as Nike’s flyknit uppers. I actually really like this because it means whatever socks you wear under this shoe will slightly change the look of the shoe, which is pretty cool. Starting with the upper, it’s mostly covered by translucent mesh. The mesh is pretty lightweight and somewhat see-through. If you want something really low-key there are all-white and all-black versions as well. If you want something more similar to the OG Air Max 90 colorways, there is a Duck Camo Air Max 2090. What I have is the launch colorway, pure platinum, but the Air Max 2090 also comes in a whole bunch of colors including a really cool ice Blue colorway, volt green and blue, and fuchsia purple and yellow. The new Air Max 2090 retails at US$ 150, which is higher than what we usually pay for, but Nike is positioning this as a premium lifestyle sneaker.Įven though the Air Max series is historically meant as a running shoe, and Nike is kind of loosely pitching this as a performance shoe, the Air Max 2090 is still a lifestyle shoe. ![]() The Air Max 90 of course first dropped in 1990, exactly 30 years ago. ![]() In fact, you’ll actually see that Nike maintained many key aspects of the Air Max 90 in this shoe as we go along. It’s supposed to be related to the Air Max 90 - but more futuristic - hence the name Air Max 2090. The 2090 is the latest in Nike’s Air Max line. ![]()
