NOTES
The Air Max 90 was Dart of Nike’s earhest ‘Limited Edition’ ranges

  The Air Max 90 was referred to as the Air Max or the Air Max tll until 2000, when it was reissued. It takes its current name from its launch year, 1990.
  The first colourway produced was the men’s white t black / coot grey f red. It was striking to say the least: the radiant red around the visible Air window exaggerated the thickness of the midsole, and the matching thermoplastic straps and rubber heel patch added to the overall effect. The upper was made of Duromesh, synthetic suede and synthetic leather. The clean lines and dazzling colours made the Air Max highly sought-after.
   In that same year, Nike produced special leather limited edition models in several colourways – the all-black leather model is particularly rare – and there were some truly amazing versions released in 2002. Nike launched an Escape Air Max 90 and a python-inspired edition. Both of these were in high demand by sneaker collectors, This model is especially favoured in Europe.
