The Air Max 90 has worn a lot of looks over the years, but this one means business. Dressed in a shadowy mix of black and anthracite, the “Black Green Strike” colourway lets the details do the talking. Neon green accents hit the Swoosh, heel branding, and Air bubble, standing out just enough to catch the eye without taking over.
The upper mixes materials for texture and depth. A chain-link patterned synthetic covers the tongue, adding a bit of edge to the classic silhouette. Leather and mesh sections balance each other, with the layered panels creating that signature AM90 structure. Nike kept the lines clean but didn’t shy away from contrast.
Underfoot, you get what made this model famous—visible Air in the heel, wrapped in a chunky midsole that brings comfort and that unmistakable 90s shape. The Waffle outsole still grips like it should, and the padded collar keeps the fit snug without pressure.
This colourway lines up nicely with the Celtics’ City Edition kits, but even without that link, the palette holds up. It’s sharp, wearable, and just different enough from a triple black.
For fans of retro runners who like a little boldness tucked into their rotation, this pair ticks all the boxes. Whether you’re chasing nostalgia or just want something with a bit more attitude, the “Black Green Strike” version of the Air Max 90 delivers.
