The Beaverton-based label Nike debuted its iconic Air Max 90 silhouette in 1990 as a part of the Air Max sneaker lineage. The shoe was added to the sneaker lineage after Air Max 1 and Air Max Light were released, and it added a brand-new element of the "dad shoe" aesthetics.

The sneaker model was designed by swoosh label veteran Tinker Hatfield, who's also credited with designing other iconic models like Air Jordan 3. The shoe became popular among sneakerheads and became a commercial success. In 33 years, the sneaker model has been clad in multiple makeovers. Nike introduces its pop-cultural relevance as follows:

"The 90s were a turning point in culture—art, music, fashion and sneakers. The Air Max was at the forefront of the movement. With even more exposed air cushioning and a bold new color, its revolutionized design helped the first 90 take on a life of its own. No longer just a running shoe, it solidified Air Max as a streetwear cornerstone."

The latest makeover to appear of the Air Max 90 is the Quadruple Swoosh in grey color scheme.

The sneaker makeover gives a nod to the iconic swoosh logo. The logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson, graphic designer at Portland State University, in 1971. The design has maintained its integrity for over five decades now.

The upper of the shoe is made of a mix of leather and mesh material. The base is constructed out of dark shadow grey mesh, which contrasts with the typical leather overlays in jet-black hue. The jet black overlays are placed along the horizontally ridged quarter panels and heel tabs.

The lateral side of the shoe features four swooshes, including a black, grey, orange outlined and a mini embroidered swoosh in white. On the medial profile, the shoe features a single mini swoosh in black outline. The feature of vibrant orange and white hue breaks up the two-toned color scheme.

The Air Max 90 "Grey Multi Swoosh" pair is rumored to release via the e-commerce site of Nike, SNKRS app and select retailers in grade school, pre-school and toddler sizes.
