Air Max 90

A classic built for movement

Our Air Max 90 trainers step up to the mark with decades of history behind them. Loved by athletes ever since they hit the shelves in 1987, Nike Air Max trainers deliver exceptional support and superior comfort. With visible Air Max cushioning in the sole, you don't just feel the bounce – you can see it. Expect classic details and the latest technology from our range, giving you the power to move with ease.

Revolutionary cushioning

Check the sides of your Air Max 90 shoes, and you'll find a window into the technology that makes these trainers so comfortable. Here, we've added an air pocket to give you the feeling of walking on clouds. But the lightweight feel means your footwear won't hold you back. Combined with a springy foam midsole, the Nike Air Max 90 provides all-over cushioning that propels you forward with each step.

Durable uppers

We build our trainers to last, using durable materials that give you the confidence to go further and smash your goals. We've got styles that mix leather, ripstop fabric and rubber for a layered look that will stand the test of time. Explore Nike Air Max 90 Premium designs that elevate the finish with refined materials. Training in warmer weather? Look out for options with holes at the toes – they increase airflow around your feet, giving you a breathable feel when the intensity rises. Meanwhile, classic lace fastenings let you adjust your trainers for the perfect fit and keep them secure

Styles to suit every wardrobe

Next-generation Air Max 90s blend Nike DNA and retro designs with sleek silhouettes and modern colourways. Stitched overlays offer durability with the addition of classic '90s detailing for ultimate street style. Step it up with the unique accents and prints you'll find among our Air Max 90 Premium designs. Looking for comfort and convenience? Choose a Nike Air Max 90 shoe with a heel pull tab and open-hole tongue to make getting them on and off super easy. Meanwhile, a soft, padded collar makes for a super-comfortable ride so you can keep your eyes on the prize. And with sizes for all ages, everyone can come along for the adventure.

Ready for the elements

Don't let the weather interrupt your training with the versatile Air Max 90. Rubber waffle outsoles provide next-level traction and grip, so you can step, run and jump with speed and focus – even on slippery surfaces. Look out for styles with water-repellent uppers that help keep moisture out. Rain won't get in at the cuff either, thanks to snug cushioning around your ankles.


Frequently asked questions about Air Max 90 shoes

Do Air Max 90 trainers fit true to size?

Nike Air Max 90 trainers fit true to size for most wearers. They offer a secure feel through the midfoot and the classic padded collar boosts comfort. If you prefer extra room, often wear thicker socks or have wider feet, consider going up half a size. For the best fit, check your usual Nike shoe size and measure both feet before choosing.

What's the difference between Nike Air Max 1 and Air Max 90?

Nike Air Max 1 and Air Max 90 trainers both feature visible Air cushioning, but they have different shapes and styling. The Air Max 1 has a lower-profile, streamlined look inspired by the original 1987 design. The Air Max 90 has a chunkier silhouette, bold side panels and extra padding around the collar, giving it a more structured feel.
