Nike x Loopwheeler Air Max 90

ICONIC AIR CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF LOOPWHEELER.

While Nike and Loopwheeler have joined forces on a handful of projects over the past decade, for the 20th anniversary of Loopwheeler, they’ve taken their rare materials and applied them to the Air Max 90 for the first time. These AM 90’s are as soft as a slipper, but unmistakably Air Max.

A Perfect Blend

Like a sweatshirt for your feet. If there’s one company in the world that can deliver that unique feeling, it’s premium Japanese cotton producer Loopwheeler. With a full-cotton upper, these cozy AM 90’s have a deconstructed look. The double-row stitching across the overlays reinforce the durability to maintain that classic AM 90 structure and shape.

A History Rooted in Comfort

Coming out of the Wakayama Prefecture seven hours outside of Tokyo, Loopwheeler makes high quality, durable cotton using the original loopwheel process developed nearly 100 years ago. That dedication to comfort comes out in the shoe with its slipper-soft upper and lining.

Air Max DNA

The Air Max 90 is unmistakable. Visible Max Air. Sunken Swoosh and TPU elements. The wavy design lines of the mudguard and the iconic waffle outsole, this legendary shoe has turned heads around the globe for nearly 30 years.

Nike Air Max Origins

Revolutionary Air technology first made its way into Nike footwear in 1978. In 1987, the Air Max 1 debuted with visible Air technology in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air cushioning—suddenly they could see it. Since then, next-generation Air Max shoes have become a hit with athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.
