The Nike Air Max 90 breathes sportswear with its design and of course the visible Air-Unit. Despite this sporty look, the shoe is more than loved as a lifestyle sneaker.

The Nike Air Max 90 Essential 'Black Starfish' (DM0029-101) is a perfect example of this statement. The base of the sneaker is made of white mesh, the same material that was used on the first Air Max 90. The overlays and the mudguard have a deep grey colour. Because the mudguard is made of leather and the rest of suede, there is a contrast on the upper. This is reinforced by the 'Starfish' details like the Swoosh.
