These JD Exclusive AM90s Prove You Don’t Need to Overcomplicate a Classic

There’s no denying that the 90s was a killer time for sneakers, with a big part of that stemming from line. In 1990, the Swoosh dropped its second flagship Air Max sneaker, which was designed once again by the mighty . Then known as the Air Max III, the shoe had its name changed a decade later to reflect its birth year, becoming the as we know it. While that OG ‘’ colourway remains synonymous with the silhouette, the style has lent itself to countless colour palettes throughout its 34-year legacy, and now three more iterations are gearing up to drop exclusively at JD Sports.

The AM90 was widely known as ‘the shoe that looked fast’, boasting a more angular shape than its predecessor. It was decked out with a mix of mesh and leather uppers for structure and breathability, and once again boasted the visible Air Bubble underfoot for cushioning and comfort. While the AM90 has received its fair share of reworks, the JD-exclusive versions stay true to the style’s classic build, though the three colourways arrive in monochromatic colour blocking for a sleek finish. Kicking things off is a stealthy near-triple black version, and the murdered-out uppers are only broken up by an energetic burst of blue detailing. The second pair arrives in a tonal ‘Wolf Grey’, with white highlights drawing attention to the branding hits. Finally, the white pair is as fresh as they come, with contrasting black accents hitting the Swooshes, Air Max branding and Air Unit.

The crisp nature of these colourways ensures they’ll go with anything, with each pair highlighting the AM90’s features as a reminder of why the iconic model makes the perfect everyday beater. The pairs are each available at JD Sports now – hit the links below to secure your size.
