Nike Air Max 90 QS "Smoke Grey Crocodile" IO4468-100

This one hits different if you remember the early 2000s. First seen back in 2002, the Nike Air Max 90 “Smoke Grey Crocodile” is back, and it still turns heads for all the right reasons. It’s a colourway that older heads respect and newer fans quickly fall for.

The upper leans into texture. Black crocodile-style leather wraps the quarter panel, giving the shoe its signature edge. Up front, the toe box, collar, and tongue arrive in smooth Coconut Milk satin, a switch-up from the original leather finish that adds a softer look. It works. Really well.

Smoke Grey Swooshes sit clean on the sides, matched with Nike Air branding at the heel. Those greys tie back to the visible Air unit and the midsole wedge, keeping the palette tight and balanced. Underfoot, a Coconut Milk midsole and black outsole finish things off with classic Air Max 90 energy.

This release keeps the spirit of the 2002 pair alive while making subtle updates for modern wear. The shape feels familiar. The materials feel fresh. And yes, the toe box is slightly refined, which means fewer hard creases and a cleaner look over time.

If you’re hunting for a standout Air Max 90, this one deserves your attention.
