Introduction:
Enter the Nike Air Max 90 'Infrared' GORE-TEX edition—a sneaker that’s not just about looks, but performance too.
In 2023, Nike took the beloved ‘Infrared’ colourway of the Air Max 90 and gave it a rugged makeover to brace for winter. This isn’t just another re-release of a classic; it’s a blend of heritage and innovation.
Design Details:
Known for its OG status, the ‘Infrared’ brings a nostalgia trip with its recognisable red accents on the backtab and midsole wedge. But this time around, the shoe is prepared for the elements.
The addition of GORE-TEX means these kicks are built for rain, snow, and everything in between. Nike has swapped out the original suede and mesh for more durable materials like leather and ballistic mesh, offering not only a sleeker look but a more functional design for those unpredictable winter days.
Even the Swoosh gets a premium treatment with leather detailing, while the tongue now features GORE-TEX branding—a subtle nod to its all-weather capabilities.
But let’s not forget what makes the Air Max 90 iconic in the first place: that legendary cushioning and distinctive Air Max unit. Whether you’re navigating the rainy streets or heading out for a night in the city, the ‘Infrared’ GORE-TEX has got you covered in both style and function.
Release Info:
Slated for release in Holiday 2024 for $160, this shoe is bound to fly off shelves. So if you’re looking to add a versatile, weatherproof sneaker to your rotation, don’t sleep on the Nike Air Max 90 ‘Infrared’ GORE-TEX.
