Nike Air Max 90 'Black Gum'

The Nike Air Max 90 Black Gum with style code FV0387-001 gives one of Nike's most iconic runners a stealthy, everyday-ready look. Launched in 1990, the Air Max 90 is known for its bold lines, visible Air unit and waffle-inspired outsole, and it has been a street staple ever since. This Black / Black / Gum version keeps the upper almost fully tonal and adds a gum sole for a warm, vintage contrast. It is an easy-to-wear pair that combines classic Air Max comfort with a practical, low-maintenance colourway.

Colorway: Black / Black / Gum

The Nike Air Max 90 Black Gum features a black upper that mixes mesh, leather and synthetic overlays for a layered but understated look. The tonal black extends to the Swoosh, laces and midsole, creating a sleek silhouette where the texture of the materials takes the lead. The gum rubber outsole breaks up the monochrome design with a retro touch and gives the shoe a slightly outdoor feel. The visible Air unit in the heel keeps the classic Air Max 90 character intact. This pair works with virtually everything, from black jeans and cargos to tracksuits and smarter casual outfits.

How does the Nike Air Max 90 Black Gum fit?

The Nike Air Max 90 Black Gum generally fits true to size, so most wearers can take their usual Nike size. The padded collar and structured upper give a secure, comfortable fit with a little more room in the toe box than the Air Max 1. If you have wide feet or prefer a looser fit, going half a size up is an option. The Air cushioning keeps it comfortable for long days.
