Nike introduces a bold new iteration of the signature Air Max 90 sneaker model with the Thunderstorm colorway palette to join its roster. The classic silhouette is detailed with a patterned upper inspired by a thunderstorm. There are hues of blue paired with some contrast of Glacier Ice for a subtle and moody design.
The brewing storm is the main influence on its palette. The upper is detailed with a marbled texture in order to add some dimension and has slightly sculpted details to maintain its design language. It rests on top of the Obsidian sole unit and clear outsole accents to round it all out. Notably, the construction enhances the overall cushioning system for support.
