Ohio State is getting its own Nike Air Max 90, dressed in the school’s familiar red, black, and silver colors. The sneaker arrives alongside the matching Nike Max 90 Vapor “Ohio State” football cleat, with both pairs featuring details tied to the Buckeyes football program.

The upper uses shaggy University Red suede across the toe box and surrounding panels, with matching mesh on the tongue. Black leather covers the mudguard, featuring a repeating square pattern that’s visible up close. Metallic silver Swooshes have black teeth along the edges, while a Cuban link chain lace dubrae adds another detail near the bottom of the laces.

Ohio State branding carries over to the smaller details, with “Defend the Shoe” printed on the tongue tags as a reference to Ohio Stadium, better known as the Horseshoe. The insoles read “Fight to the End” in Old English lettering, a detail also found on the matching cleats.

The Nike Air Max 90 “Ohio State” releases November 3, 2026, exclusively through Sole Classics in-store and online before a wider global launch during Holiday 2026. The sneaker will be available in unisex sizing for $140.
