Nike introduces a new neutral iteration of the Air Max 90 sneaker to join its ongoing Terrascape line. It arrives in a black and white design. It boasts a black upper with mesh fabric around the tongue, the ankle collar, and the toe box for a touch of breathability.
Canvas overlays on top around the clear TPU eyestays that have Terrascape branding around the tongue pull tab and the insole sections. White Swoosh can be seen along the lateral side of the sneaker with a matching heel tab - this is made from the signature Crater foam along with the speckled sole that is wrapped in a clear rubber material as a nod to the brand's commitment to sustainable processes.
