Men's black Air Max 90 trainers and shoes: performance and style
The legendary trainers are back. Nike black Air Max 90 men's shoes combine incredible comfort and an unmistakable silhouette. These are the kicks that defined 90s street style, thanks to their textured accents, iconic waffle sole and impossible-to-miss Nike Air units. Expect a low-profile design and padded collar for a sleek vibe and a comfy feel. The multi-material uppers are so soft you won't need to break them in. Even better, your AM90s will only get better-looking with age.
Introducing your new faves. Men's Nike Air Max 90 black trainers are super easy to style, and they go with pretty much any look. Named after the year they were released, the Air Max 90 was the brainchild of Nike's renowned designer, Tinker Hatfield. He took Nike's cushioned running shoe and revolutionised its design. In a bold move, he exposed the Nike Air cushioning in its heel. The innovative cushioning, which absorbs impact with every step, became part of the shoe's visual appeal—and Air Max 90 trainers became a streetwear staple.
In its latest iterations, Nike men's Air Max 90 shoes in black stay true to their running roots with a sleek shape and Nike Air cushioning. Think iconic waffle soles, which provide heritage style and reliable traction. The uppers are constructed from a mix of textiles, plus real and synthetic leather for durability. Stitched overlays give them a distinctive layered look. Meanwhile, foam midsoles, combined with the Nike Air units in the heel, offer a responsive, springy feel for a comfortable ride.
