Even Nike's comfiest Air Max sneaker has a wild side.

The Nike Air Max 90 sneaker answers the call of the wild in such a classy way, too. The latest version features both smooth and pebbled leather layers, joined by a crocodile skin mudguard that wraps the sidewalls in luxurious reptilian touches.

Nike's iconic sneaker also features a pleasing color palette of off-white, beige, and brown hues, which only enhances the tasteful textures.

We've seen croc Air Max 90s before, including furry camo pairs designed to blend in with its surroundings. But the latest pairs are fresh, fall-ready, and just fancy.

Be on the lookout for the new Nike Air Max 90 "Croc Skin" sneaker, which is expected to release sometime during the autumn season on Nike's website.
