First Look at the Croc-Embossed Nike Air Max 90 “Croc Skin”

Nike has given the Air Max 90 another Crok Embossed twist, this time with a second 2025 version of the popular “Croc Skin” . The mudguard steals the spotlight on this edition, wrapped in croc-embossed leather that adds instant depth and texture to Tinker Hatfield’s iconic design and a definite step in terms of textures from the version we saw drop at the start of the year. Black dominates much of the build, coating the eyestays, heel tab, midsole wedge, and outsole for a sharp, unified look.

Breaking up the darker tones, the toe box and collar are dressed in crisp tumbled white leather, while the quarter panel arrives in soft “Fossil” tones. A darker “Desert Khaki” shade hits the Swoosh for contrast, keeping the palette balanced. Finishing details come in “Sail,” spread across the tongue, insoles, and premium leather tongue tag, lending a vintage finish that ties the whole sneaker together.

The mix of croc-textured leather, tumbled overlays, and neutral shades creates a design that feels premium and different from other colourways we’ve seen before. Dropping in Autumn 2025, will you be adding this luxe croc skin upgrade into your daily rotation? Let us know.
