This year, Nike's iconic Air Max 90 turns 30, and to celebrate that milestone, Nike unveils another tonal option with the drop of the Hyper Royal colorway. The silhouette remains exactly the same and the uppers are constructed from a blend of mesh, suede, and leather materials.
Specifically, it is white mesh, detailed with gray suede, and topped off with black leather materials. The spotlight is the rich blue accent to add a vibrant touch -- the blue details the EVA rubberized heel badge, the back area of the midsoles, at the interiors, and along with the lacing system. The sneaker also features the visible Air Max unit along with the soft and cozy EVA foam midsole. Branding details are seen in the form of the gray Swoosh on the side.
