Some trainers never fade. The Nike Air Max 90 Black/Anthracite is one of them. It keeps the original silhouette intact while leaning into a darker, more wearable colour palette that fits everyday life in the UK.
The upper mixes genuine leather, synthetic leather, and breathable textile. This combo gives the shoe structure without feeling stiff. Stitched overlays add depth, while textured panels keep things visually interesting. It’s a familiar shape, yet it still feels fresh on foot.
Comfort is where this pair earns its reputation. The visible Nike Air unit in the heel cushions each step and takes the edge off long days. You feel supported without feeling weighed down. The padded collar and low-cut profile sit nicely around the ankle, making these easy to wear straight from the box.
Down below, the rubber Waffle outsole delivers reliable grip. Wet pavements. Daily commutes. Casual wear. It handles all of it while staying true to Nike’s running DNA.
The Black and Anthracite tones make styling simple. These Air Max 90s work with jeans, joggers, cargos, or techwear fits. They suit low-key outfits and don’t clash with louder pieces either. That versatility is why this colourway stays popular year after year.
