In 1990, Nike introduced the inaugural Air Max 90 as an advancement to the revolutionary Air Max 1. This iteration, known as the Essential 'Black', pays homage to its predecessor by incorporating various tones of the 'triple black' color scheme. The iconic design showcases a combination of gray-black mesh on the upper, complemented by deep, inky black suede overlays. The leather lateral Swoosh resides in between the two hues, mirroring the shade found on the midsole and outsole.
