The biggest day of the calendar for sneakerheads beckons. Yes, Air Max day is almost upon us, and this year we celebrate the 30th Nike Air Max 98 Mujer anniversary of the Air Max 90.

The Air Max 90 has become middle-aged and is looking better than ever. While our midsections just keep Nike M2k Tekno Femme getting bigger, the Air Max 90 has aged like a fine wine, and for its 30th birthday, it’s had one hell of a glow up.

And finally, if bling is more your thing then there’s a trio of gold, silver and rose gold metallic finishes. Streetwear fans will also be happy to hear there’s a collaboration with Undefeated too.

The Air Max 90 was first released in 1990 and was originally known as the Air Max III up until 2000 when it was retro'd and renamed the Air Max 90 after the year it released.

The Air Max 90 is a part of Tinker's Air Max legacy which is infamous for being the first with the exposed air bubble. What I love Nike Air Max 720 Donna most about this silhouette are the shape and overall structure. The overlays and how you're able to color block different panels to create different colorways. It also happens to be my favorite Air Max silhouette.

My very first pair of Air Max 90 were the 2010 ‘Infrared’. I remember purchasing them at the Nike Running store at the Grove in Los Angeles. That's when my obsession Nike Air Presto Mujer with Air Max's sparked. It was like love at first sight. After those, I remember getting GR pairs and then going for the ‘Volt’ colorway in 2012 with $100 that my dad gave me for Christmas. It's so cool being able to reminisce on my favorite silhouette. My grail would have to be either the Bacon, Atmos Duck Camo or Atmos Black Tiger.
