The Reincarnation of Nike’s Clean, Classic “Ultramarine” Air Max
Nike's "Ultramarine" Air Max is back...with a twist. The newest drop honestly said, "new body, who this?"
The sportswear giant has flipped the Air Max 180's iconic colorway onto the Air Max 90. The results? An AM90 dressed in the familiar white and grey scheme, complete with the famous blue and neon pink splashes.
It's even finished with a yellowed Air-infused sole, which speaks directly to the colorway's timeless status.
Maybe next, the Air Max 90 will take the "Bluebird" outfit for a night out on the town.
In the meantime, the "Ultramarine" Air Max 90 sneakers are now available on Nike Indonesia's website for around $140.
It wouldn't be the first time the Air Max 90 went through another Air Max's closet for an outfit. It has also dressed up like the "Neon" Air Max 95 and even the "Silver Bullet" Air Max 97 (the latter appeared in a collection of flipped Nike sneakers).
The Air Max 90 has even gone "Ultramarine" mode before. But the 2026 editions might take the crown, staying truly faithful to the clean, classic looks of original sneaker.
