Nike is giving the Air Max 90 another strong push for Summer 2026 with two new colorways that freshen up the classic runner through sharp contrast and bright accent work. Rather than reworking the shape, Nike keeps the familiar build intact and lets the color blocking do the talking.
One pair arrives in “Photo Blue/Cyber” and leans into a bolder mix of tones. The upper combines light grey mesh with soft suede overlays, while a dark mudguard adds depth around the lower half. From there, Cyber yellow Swooshes bring the energy, joined by Photo Blue hits on the eyelets, heel branding, outsole, and Air unit support panel. The result feels sporty, bright, and easy to spot from a distance.
The second colorway, “Cool Grey/Infrared 23,” takes a slightly warmer route while using the same blocking. White mesh and Cool Grey overlays build the base, while Infrared 23 lands on the Swoosh for a bold pop. Light blue accents appear on the eyelets and heel area, helping balance the brighter red-orange tone with a cooler finish.
Both pairs stay true to what makes the Air Max 90 work. You still get the visible Air unit, layered upper, and classic outsole design that helped make the silhouette one of Nike’s most lasting staples.
The Nike Air Max 90 “Photo Blue/Cyber” and Nike Air Max 90 “Cool Grey/Infrared 23” are expected to release in Summer 2026, with an Asia launch scheduled for March 16th.
