Nike Gives the Air Max 90 the “Silver Bullet” Treatment

Nike’s Air Max 90 is taking a lesson from a sneaker seven years its junior, as the iconic Air Max 97 “Silver Bullet” colorway makes its way to the AM 90 “Icons.”

Official images have revealed the transformation as the elder sneaker is hit with “Metallic Silver” and “University Red.” Shiny silver leather is used for the overlays, while matching mesh sits beneath. The Swoosh comes in red suede, with the color repeating on the tongue and heel branding as well as select hits of the outsole. Black then makes up the rest of the upper, as do the upper most eyelets, mustache, lining, tongue patch, and “Air Max” branding beneath the collar.

This mash-up of Air Maxes isn’t the first of its kind — in 2017, the Air Max 95 also took on the “Silver Bullet” colorway. The “Icons” name suggests the Air Max 90 could be part of a series, and if you look inside the sneaker you’ll see its own branding appear on the insole.

Release details have yet to be revealed, but you can likely expect the Air max 90 “Icons” to arrive in the coming months for $130. Download the DROPS by SoleSavy app and we’ll provide you with updates on this drop and more.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
