The first thing you notice about the Nike Air Max 90 'Desert Camo' is that the sneaker has been given a camouflage pattern. The upper is made of canvas and has a tan-colored base that is covered with two different shades of brown. All over the upper are clusters of black and white spots. Nike did this to mimic the look of pebbles in the sand and their shadow. To complete the design, the sneaker has been given an off-white midsole that matches well with the upper.
