Nike paid tribute to China's national team ahead of the Summer Olympics in Beijing by releasing the exclusive Air Max 90 SI in January 2008. This special edition features a tongue design that commemorates the remarkable achievements of the 1984 Chinese Olympic team, who secured an impressive 15 gold medals in Los Angeles. The upper of the shoe combines leather and mesh materials and is embellished with accents inspired by gold medals. With a sleek color combination of light grey, white, and black, the Air Max 90 SI perfectly embodies Tinker Hatfield's iconic 1990 creation, boasting fluid lines and an expanded Air Sole cushioning unit that exudes a modern and minimalist aesthetic.
