The Nike Air Max 90 was introduced in 1990 to build upon the success of its predecessor, the Air Max 1. The Essential model from 2014 encompasses the redesigned paneling and a larger Max Air unit, similar to its earlier version. This variation features a textile and synthetic upper, adorned with Nike's Light Crimson and Natural Grey tones, which are contrasted with black and white accents. The foam midsole of this model is upgraded with the renowned Max Air cushioning. The outsole is designed with a Waffle-inspired pattern to enhance flexibility and traction.
