Nike Air Max 90 Black Sapphire DM0029-021

The Nike Air Max 90 “Black/Saphire” comes back next spring, and it shows up with that quiet confidence the AM90 built its name on.

The base stays fully blacked out, letting the materials do most of the talking — mesh for breathability, suede for a little depth, and TPU hits that remind you this model was once a straight-up performance runner.

Then comes the part that gives the pair its personality: a soft sapphire shade tucked into the Swoosh. It’s not loud, but it breaks up the darkness just enough to catch your eye. Nike repeats that washed tone on the tongue and heel, tying everything together in a way longtime fans will recognize instantly.

Even the visible Air unit picks up the black-and-sapphire mix, which adds a small nod to early 2000s color stories without overdoing it.

Look for pairs to release through the usual Nike.com and select retailers Spring 2026.
