To pay tribute to the latest engineer, Nike Sportswear will be releasing a new iteration of the Nike Air Max 90 arriving in a mix of Summit White, Safety Orange, and Sesame. It comes constructed in a mix of mesh, leather, and suede materials featuring EST. 1990 printed on the lateral Air unit, his name printed on the lace tips, and blueprint insoles showing off the technology artwork and his signature. An air pressure hangtag completes the design and theme.
