Originally known as the “Air Max” or the “Air Max III” until 2000, the Air Max 90 got its name from the year of its original release date.? The first colorway, known today as the “Infrareds”, featured white, black, and grey uppers with dazzling red “thermoplastic” accents around the Visible Air unit and the laces making this one of the most sought after Air Maxes with several re-issues since the first release. The Air Max 90 continues to be a staple for the Nike Running product line, but some of the newer editions that feature leather uppers instead of the Duromesh have been criticized by many sneaker lovers.
