Vibrant pastels and titular neutrals have welcomed the Nike Air Max 90 into an early slate of spring-time aesthetics as of late, while this “Elemental Gold” iteration is instead harkening a darkened ensemble to combat the continued gloomy winter months.
Centering its upper tooling around a tightly knit jet-black mesh base layer, color-matched entities further eclipse the silhouette through horizontally ridged quarter panels and laces. Save its seldom “Summit White” accents placed along the enlarged tongue tab, midfoot Swoosh and branded Air Max panel, a strengthened coat of wheat envelops the upper’s dominant suede overlay and layered tongue construction in a stark deviation from the employed monochrome orchestra. In tandem with the murdered-out heel tab, the lower half of the silhouette comes cured almost exclusively in a clad-black association, coating the tumbled leather of its midfoot overlay and resuming its dominant rendering along the midsole before the trio of aforementioned tones divides along the tread.
