When did the Nike Air Max 90 come out?

First seen in 1990, the Air Max 90 was seen again in 2001 with the release of the model with a tumbled leather upper. Even more memorable drops followed, including the first-ever Air Max collab, the Courir x Air Max 90 ‘Denim’.

In 2004, the trend of wild concepts on the AM90 began with Dave’s Quality Meats (DQM) who developed an Air Max 90 based on bacon.

2008, 2010 and 2015 saw successful retro releases of the AM90, identical to the original with only very small exceptions.

Then, in 2017, Virgil Abloh and his brand Off-White pushed the Air Max 90 in a new direction by giving the model a reconstructed look, laying bare the ‘guts’ of the shoe. Part of ‘The Ten’ drop, it was insanely popular and sold out immediately.

For the model’s 30th anniversary in 2020, Nike recrafted the design to resemble the original profile more closely, slimming it down by tweaking the panels, toe box and heel.

Its street-style vibe and low-top design meant that the sneaker could be paired with pretty much any outfit, and this flexibility gave the model the staying power that’s seen it remain popular from its launch right up to the current year.
