Nike continues to celebrate the iconic Air Max 90 through a collaboration with UK-based British-Nigerian artist Slawn. This partnership brings two striking new colorways to life: the “Black Speckle” and “White Speckle.” These fresh iterations pay homage to the classic silhouette while incorporating modern design elements that enhance its timeless appeal.

One of the standout features of these editions is the redesigned mudguard, now boasting a sleek wraparound leather stripe. This sophisticated update replaces the traditional medial panel, offering a more streamlined and premium aesthetic. Enhancing the overall design, the quarter panels, Swoosh as well as collar are adorned with intricate patterns reminiscent of stone carving for added depth and texture.

The heel branding has also been updated with an embossed logo, replacing the standard Nike Air logo with a clean and refined finish. Paint splatter detailing on the midsole adds a bold, artistic touch, particularly on the Black Speckle pair due to its high-contrast effect. Metallic accents complete the luxurious vibe, with silver embellishing the Black Speckle edition and gold highlighting the White Speckle variant, elevating both styles to new levels of sophistication.
