Coming on the heels of its recent remixed Dunk Low launch, Nike has announced the debut of yet another all-new silhouette, the Air Max 90 Scrap. The new sneaker builds on the brand's new 'Scrap' line, offering a maximalist take on the iconic Air Max 90 model.
The new sneaker arrives in a unique colorway that blends Beige, Blush, and Sail hues -- three new signature Nike colors, which have been appearing on many of the brand's latest shoes. The shoe's uppers feature a mesh and leather combination that is contrasted by stacked panels. However, outside of the new color changes, the Air Max 90 Scrap maintains the look and structural detailing of the original model.
According to Nike, the Air Max 90 Scrap is expected to drop sometime in the coming weeks.
