Nike Air Max 90

Discover the classic Nike Air Max 90 shoe range at JD Sports Australia. This retro silo, available in different colours (including white, black, and grey), is a must-have for runners and casual sneaker fans. It’s stood the test of time, proving the long-lasting appeal of the brand’s visible Air units, which are on full display here.

When Did the Nike Air Max 90 Come Out?

To nobody’s surprise, the Nike Air Max 90 (previously called the Air Max III) was released in 1990. The designer of the sneaker, Tinker Hatfield, made good use of the Swoosh brand’s revolutionary Air technology, following in the footsteps of previous entries in the line.

When creating the AM90, Hatfield aimed to build upon the successes of the Air Max 1 and Light. He wanted this new trainer to not only look better but also perform better, giving runners a higher level of comfort to meet the demands of the sport.

Despite their strongly emphasised practical applications, the AM90s don’t appeal only to runners; many choose to wear these eye-catching sneakers casually. This isn’t surprising: the collection has a distinct, attractive appearance, with an outlined Air unit in the heel and prominent ‘Air Max’ branding.

How to Style the Nike Air Max 90

As touched upon, the Nike Air Max 90 is suitable for both exercise and fashion. Its sporty aesthetic has become popular among footwear enthusiasts, and the breadth of colourways on offer gives you a great deal of control over your style.

Naturally, if you’re looking for fashion advice, we’d recommend sticking to your casual items. T-shirts and shorts are great, or you could opt for a full tracksuit set, complete with the Swoosh logo. The colours of these items should reflect those of the AM90s you’ve chosen, featuring complementary colours or neutral ones that’ll allow your sneakers to be the centre of attention.
