Kids Nike Air Max 90

Bringing 90s Back

As one of the most iconic running shoes of all time, a sleek silhouette and air in the midsole render this shoe one of the most recognizable sneakers in the world.

Whether they're back-to-school kicks, or a gift from their super-hip uncle, when your kid steps onto the playground in the classic Nike Air Max 90s, they are sure to turn heads and impress the pants off of their classmates.

To really make an impression that says your kid doesn't wear just any old kicks, they wear kicks that make a statement, it's best to be informed. The mid-eighties sparked the inception of Air Max technology —exposing the cushioning Air bag for a look and feel that is synonymous with Nike. This inside-out concept led to the Air Max 1 —the first shoe to put Nike's tried-and-true Air® technology on display, with the release of the Air Max 90 hot on its heels. Originally titled the Nike Air Max III, the 90 quickly gained popularity due to its bold, new-age design and foot-hugging comfort. Both runners and casual wearers of the shoe appreciated its stability, newly revealed cushioning, and its mesh upper, which provided a breathable and lightweight fit.

When it comes to throwback runners of the Millennial generation, the Nike Air Max 90 is the Holy Grail of timeless sneaker fashion. From classic uppers made of nylon, mesh, and leather, to high-tech Flywire and engineered mesh, the 90 possesses the power to work as a canvas for creative expression. And while your tech-savvy kid might not have experienced all the simple greatness that was the 90s, when they slip into this shoe, they'll travel back in time to get their own taste of the sneaker that helped pave the way for the Air Max revolution.
