Quiet and toned down are probably the two words you’d use to describe this colorway. The shoe leans into a brighter washed sage on the exterior but transition into more of a muted olive green on the interior. This completely shifts the tone of the sneaker.
The Nike Air Max 90 “Light Spruce” stays in one lane with smooth leather across the toe, mudguard, and side panels. Darker plastic sits around the eyelets and heel, not as a bold contrast, just enough to add depth. The leather Swoosh blends into the upper instead of standing out.
Carrying over that muted finish, the midsole contrasts the transparent Air pocket where we can see the darker bubble engulfed within. Taking stock of the outsole, a deeper tone of Light Spruce is used on the bottom which complements the signature waffle pattern.
The Nike Air Max 90 “Light Spruce” releases Spring 2026 on Nike.com and at select retailers.
