Neptune Blue has been a constant color scheme for Nike this year. We have mainly spotted it on Nike runners such as the Air Max 1, the Air Max Triax ’94 and the Air Max Light. The latest sneaker to possess this vibrant color scheme is the iconic Air Max 90. The Neptune Blue hints show up in the form of the visible Air sole unit, laceholders and various branding. The rest of the upper contains white leather and a black net-like mesh material (toe box, collar). View detailed photos below.

To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Nike Air Max 90, Complex asked Crooked Tongues’ Gary Warnett to create a list of the best 50 releases of all time. While the top pick probably won’t surprise you, choices numbers 2 through 50 just may. A truly versatile sneaker, the 90′s seen an endless array of colors applied to it, resulting in some timeless kicks. Head over to Complex and check out the list.
With iconic colorways like the “Infrareds” and “Laser Blues” re-releasing, it’s sometimes hard for a new colorway of the the Nike Air Max 90 to get much love. Nike continues to bring new life to this classic runner mixing it up with a Granite/Royal Blue-Lucky Green colorway. The shoe features white mesh on the upper contrasted by granite and royal blue tumbled leather. Lucky green pops up all over the shoe accenting the lining, eyelets, back piece, and midsole. The mostly white midsole sets atop a royal blue outsole finishing off the sneaker. This model has dropped overseas with no information on a US release. What do you think of this colorway?
Fresh on the heels of the most recent return of the “Infrared” Air Max 90 is news that the “Laser Blue” pair will be coming back as well. Originally a 1990 release and brought back once more in 2002, this OG colorway is partially responsible for the rise in popularity of Air Max classics in the 2000s. Very true to the originals, which were highlighted recently in “Throwback Thursday,” this shoe should release in the coming months.
20 years and going strong, the Nike Air Max 90 still holds a place in athletics and pop culture. Footlocker has teamed up with Nike for the launch of the “I Am The Rules” campaign, a defy conventional thinking advertisement circled around the Air Max 90. The sixty second spot features a host of athletes from around the world that are well known for taking risks and blazing their own trail. In your opinion does the Air Max 90 stand out as a risk taker?
