There aren’t many occasions bigger than the Olympics, and not many designs more timeless than the Nike Air Max 90. While some newly minted silhouettes are in the crosshairs as a part of the Paris slate, there’s no way Beaverton would pass up an opportunity to lift up the Tinker Hatfield creation; this commemorative edition hits shelves just around the corner.

It’s a pretty simple arrangement on this shoe, leaning into pedigree and class rather than anything too gaudy. Off-white “Coconut” milk hits the ridged TPU sections, gold stand center on the Swoosh, and Navy accents via the leather swatch across the quarter.Of course, the Air Max 90’s most iconic look still live son in this arrangment, with grey & white leather & mesh underpinning each of those more striking elements.
While the overall palette is reminiscent of the Nike Air Max 1 “Olympic” that hit shelves a little while back, this shoe is included in a different, adjacent pack of Paris drops. The Nike Air Force 1 “Gold Script” and Cortez “Olympic” are instead its true counterparts.
