A classic Nike Air Max 90 sneaker has suddenly returned...and leveled up.

The Air Max 90 "Coconut Milk/Black" sneaker is back from 2002, bringing its familiar cookies-and-cream flavor to one of Nike's comfiest models.

The tasty Air Max 90 looks different in 2025, but in a good way. It's still the same delicious, clean design, but Nike has made some small, albeit luxurious, tweaks to make it even better than before.

Specifically, Nike updates the leather to snakeskin patent leather, giving the sneaker a bit more edge and an high-end feel. At the same time, the brand also throws in some silky-smooth textures for less creasing, which also means more time for flexing.

The new and improved "Coconut Milk/Black" steppers are the perfect end to a year filled with impressively textured Air Max 90s. We saw the timeless model wrapped in everything from all-leather to croc skin looks.

Priced at $155, the Air Max 90 "Coconut Milk/Black" sneakers are scheduled to drop on December 23 on Nike's SNKRS app.
