Nike Air Max 90 Photon Dust Light Iron Ore

The Nike Air Max 90 Photon Dust Light Iron Ore provides high performance running durability while taking style inspiration from a '90s running shoe aesthetic.

The upper of the Air Max 90 in a Photon Dust/Light Iron Ore colorway starts with a base of ghostly white ribbed textile. Tumbled leather overlays in a creamy tan adorn the toe box and side panel, while smooth chocolate brown leather forms the mud guard. Hits of sail TPU appear in a cut-out window on the lateral side panel as well as on the eye stays and heel counter. Nike Air branding appears on the heel and white mesh insole, Air Max branding in the side-panel window, and Nike branding on the tongue tag.

What our shoe experts appreciate most about this sneaker is its high-octane sole unit. Sail foam and tan TPU form the midsole that houses a visible Zoom Air unit for cushioning and reactive support. The waffle lugs on the sail and tan rubber outsole offer impact absorption and grip. The Nike Air Max 90 Photon Dust Light Iron Ore was released on August 12, 2023, for $130 retail.
