Nike introduces a new Viotech 2.0 design to its signature Air Max 90 QS sneaker model following its original sneaker design inspired by vinyl records. The latest rework is powered by Viotech and features bold colors throughout the entire uppers to instantly captivate attention.
The uppers are constructed from a blend of suede and canvas fabric materials informed with hues including Game Royal and Lucid Green. The blend of textures across the design adds both depth and contrast to the aesthetic, as hues of bright yellow paneled through white, blue, green, light orange, and magenta, along with some muted black and white. The signature Air Unit in the midsoles remains translucent covered by yellow details.
