Nike's "Bred" Air Max Is Two Greats, One Sneaker
Nike's G.O.A.T. colorway? Easy. "Bred" wins every time, even when it graces an oddball sneaker like the NIke's Air Max 90.
The unmistakable black, red, and white colorway graced the first-ever Jordan 1 sneaker, still the most legendary and hardest-to-get Air Jordan 1 shoe ever.
Since then, we've gotten several other equally iconic "Bred" sneakers like the "Bred" 4s and "Bred" 11s (delicious velvet versions included).
Nike has even dressed up non-Jordan classics in the timeless colorway, resulting in immaculate and super-duper classic steppers like the "Bred" Nike Air Max 90s.
The model's layered and textural uppers gets bathed in black, further topped with a crisp white leather Swoosh on the sidewalls.
Those signature pops of "University Red?" They strike a couple of branding moments throughout this otherwise mostly blacked-out AM90 shoe, creating the black and red look innate to the "Bred" formula.
Finally, the Air Max 90 sits atop its traditional semi-stacked sole with the usual visible Air window that, this time, is realized in what looks like a deep red-ish tint.
Nike has released a few "Bred" AM90 variants before, including a pair of sneakers released in 2021 that bore a striking resemblance to this all-new 2025 rendition that's dropping soon on Nike's website. However, the previous pair went almost full stealth mode, save its white laces and red Air Max branding. It's still "Bred" but low-key, you know?
Like, though the previous Bred Air Maxes were good, these forthcoming shoes keeps the classic shade simple and clean, making them almost the perfect "Bred" Air Max 90s.
By the way, these new Air Max 90 "Bred" sneakers are expected to land during summer, just in time to make these shoes really pop.
