UPDATE 3/17/26: Nike has confirmed the Air Max 90 “Infrared Reflective” will release on March 26th, 2026 for $150 USD as part of Air Max Day celebration. The pair will be available via SNKRS and select retailers.
Original Story 12/12/25:
The Nike Air Max 90 “Infrared Reflective” is set to release in Spring 2026, giving one of Nike’s most recognizable colorways a modern refresh. The original “Infrared” remains deeply tied to Air Max history, dating back to 1990 when Tinker Hatfield redefined visible Air cushioning and performance design.
Official images of the Air Max 90 “Infrared Reflective” have also surfaced ahead of the upcoming Air Max Month release.
This upcoming version does not attempt to replicate the OG pair line for line. Instead, Nike introduces reflective 3M elements and subtle material changes that update the look while preserving the identity of the classic color scheme. The familiar white, black, grey, and Infrared 23 palette remains intact, which longtime Air Max fans will immediately recognize.
Mesh is removed around the toe, collar, and heel and replaced with darker grey synthetic panels. These panels provide a more durable structure while adding a subtle shine that enhances the reflective concept. Light grey suede overlays remain stacked above a black leather mudguard, maintaining the layered construction that defines the Air Max 90 silhouette.
Infrared accents continue to carry the design, with the bright hue appearing on the eyelets, tongue branding, Air Max callouts, and sections of the outsole. A white midsole paired with a mostly black outsole helps ground the design, balancing the vibrant highlights with a familiar and wearable finish.
