The Drop
The Nike Air Max 90 Infrared dropped in 2020 as a faithful retro of the 1990 OG colorway that put visible Air on the map. White leather upper, grey suede overlays, and that unmistakable Infrared accent on the heel and midsole—this is the blueprint Tinker Hatfield sketched, now remastered for a generation that grew up seeing it in every vintage sneaker documentary. It's not a collab, it's a heritage play, and Nike knows this colorway sells itself.
Resell Verdict
Fair resell hovers around $289, with recent asks swinging wildly from $158 to $801 depending on size and condition. The wide spread tells you this isn't a hype rocket—it's a steady mover with 63 weekly orders, meaning consistent demand but no FOMO premium. Resell has stabilized since release; you're not flipping for double-up profits, but patient sellers clearing DS pairs in popular sizes can bank €80–120 over what they paid. Das ist solide, not spectacular.
Fake Tells
- ▸Infrared shade: Reps often nail the white/grey but botch the Infrared tone—too orange or too pink
- ▸Mudguard shape: Fakes flatten the curve; authentic pairs have a pronounced, sculptural mudguard
- ▸Heel Air unit: Check the bubbles for uneven fill or foggy plastic—real units are crystal-clear
Who It's For
This is the reseller's bread-and-butter sneaker: low drama, recognizable silhouette, appeals to 30+ buyers chasing nostalgia and younger heads building their first AM90 rotation. Perfect for casual daily wear or completing a retro fit without screaming "I tried too hard."
Sizing & Fit
Runs true to size with a roomy toebox—half-size down if you prefer a snug fit, but most stick TTS.
