Since its 1990 debut, the Tinker Hatfield-designed Air Max 90 continues to stay relevant through its many iterations. The Nike Air Max 90 Essential 'Volt' sneaker features a leather and mesh upper to airflow, while a padded ankle collar and tongue provide adaptive support. Installed in the heel is a visible Max Air unit for lightweight cushioning. Grip traction is enhanced by a Waffle rubber outsole.
