How long between releases qualifies as a retro? Nike is pushing the envelope to find out with what they are calling a restock of a five-year-old colorway of the Air Max 90 created to benefit Native American communities.
The Nike Air Max 90 N7 is restocking for the first time since 2020, bringing the multi-shade suede Air Max out of retirement. Featuring white mesh on the toebox, tan suede on the toe panel, and grey suede on the mudguard, the rough suede is premium but far from soft. The shoe adds hits of color with volt on the lace guards, Air bubble, side panel window, and heel label, plus bright red on the Swoosh.
Nike Air Max 90 N7
Nike’s N7 program was established to celebrate and give back to indigenous communities, and has continued to put out limited runs in new silhouettes every year. Last year, Nike dropped an N7 version of the Air Max 1, Air Force 1, and KD 17, and this year we’ve already seen a more recent restock of a 2024 turquoise N7 Dunk. Since 2009, the N7 Fund has donated $13.4 million to more than 300 organizations benefiting indigenous communities.
The Nike Air Max 90 N7 will be released, sorry, restocked, October 13, 2025 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $135. To keep up with all the latest Air Max drops, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
