PRODUCT DETAILS:
The Nike Air Max 90 continues to operate as an economic tour de force for the Swoosh, the latest ‘Persian Violet’ and ‘Pollen Rise’ designs taking cues from their ACG lineup.
Constructed with suede mudguards, rope laces, ‘ACG Man’ hangtags, and insoles paying homage to vintage ACG magazine advertisements, both renditions are outdoor-ready renditions of a classic silhouette!
HISTORY/FEATURES:
Nike Hiking, which originated around 1981, eventually gave rise to the ACG line of products in 1989. The colorway on this shoe is typical of the colorways of the models released from the first ACG sneakers. These ship in a simple orange Nike Sportswear box with 3M-speckled black rope laces. The sneakers also ship with a rubbery plastic “Hike Nike Man” hangtag. The insoles feature a print of one of the original ads for the ACG line.
HOW ARE THE MATERIALS?
These feature GR-level materials, but geared towards the more rugged ACG theme. Instead of regular mesh we get a ballistic nylon mesh. Instead of the felt suede, we get a more rough and rugged suede. The purple areas feature a basic smooth leather while the leather swoosh has some added striped texture. Overall these shoes were made to beat up and so premium quality materials is not the focus. The materials are fitting for what type of shoe this is paying homage to.
