UPDATE 8/1/25: The “Thunderstorm” Air Max 90 are now available on Nike.com.
Original Story 6/3/25:
Just when you thought the skies were clear, Nike drops a storm—literally. The Nike Air Max 90 “Thunderstorm” is rolling in hot for Summer 2025, and it’s making waves in the sneaker world.
Gone is the standard layered build. In its place? A sleek, molded upper with almost no seams in sight. The deep “Thunderstorm,” “Obsidian,” and “Glacier Ice” tones give the shoe serious mood.
The upper boasts a marbled texture that feels like nature’s drama frozen in fabric. Meanwhile, the blacked-out sole unit anchors the design and gives your step that low-key thunder.
Don’t miss the icy outsole touches that peek through below—because every storm needs a cool finish. Subtle branding and sculpted details round out the look, keeping it modern but true to the Air Max spirit.
The Nike Air Max 90 “Thunderstorm” hit Nike.com and select retailers on August 1, 2025 for $145.
Whether you’re chasing clouds or compliments, this one is a forecast you’ll want to follow.
