The Nike Air Max 90 “Light Violet Ore” arrives quietly, but the details do the talking. Instead of leaning on contrast, Nike shifts focus toward texture and finish. That choice gives this Air Max 90 colorway a more mature, lifestyle-driven feel.
Soft violet suede sets the tone across the upper. Charcoal panels on the eyestays and heel pull everything back into balance. The mudguard stands out most, finished with frayed edges and exposed stitching that feel purposeful, not overworked.
A black Swoosh grounds the sidewalls, as does the tonal tongue tag. The darkened midsole and exposed Air unit are as recognizable underfoot as ever, and a lightly translucent outsole provides just the right amount of depth.
The Nike Air Max 90 “Light Violet Ore” launches Spring 2026 for $155 at Nike.com and select retailers.
