The Air Max 2090 Joins Nike’s “Brushstroke” Pack

Since first emerging on the scene at the end of June through a duo of Air Force 1,

colorways,

Nike/Jordan Brand’s “Brushstroke” Pack has gradually invited in more members into its company such as the Blazer Mid and Air Jordan 1 Low. The common denominator here is that they’ve all been models of retro descent, but that will soon change as it has kicked off the month of August by welcoming a more modernized Swoosh entry in the Air Max 2090. Shedding the black uppers utilized on the recently-previewed “Bleached Aqua” Air Max 2090, the Sportswear model dials its synthetic bases and tumbled leather mudguards with a snowy white backdrop, and color-blocks through the paint-like Swooshes in black, with supportive “University Red” hits applying to the exposed midfoot stitches, “air” branding, and heel molds. Moreover, the liners and full treading are done up with stealthy skins. You can view a gallery of more photos here, and expect these to drop on Nike.com in the coming weeks for $150. via sneakernews.com via SneakerNews.com
