Although the Air Max 90 is a staple silhouette for Nike, collaborators don’t regularly add their touch to the Tinker Hatfield-designed model. In what will hopefully kickstart a trend of more projects on the Air Max 90, British-Nigerian artist Slawn is slated to work on the silhouette, with images of two Slawn x Nike Air Max 90s appearing online.

While retailer Asphalt Gold posted the two colorways with no branding or mention of Slawn being connected to the releases, Brendan Dunne of Complex reported that the artist was, in fact, the reason behind the wild redesign of the classic Air Max model. For those unfamiliar with Slawn, whose real name is Olaolu Akeredolu-Ale, the 24-year-old artist and designer first began to make moves as a teenager when he created the brand Motherlan with a group of friends, which caught the attention of the legendary Virgil Abloh. Later, he began to paint and showcase his work on social media, eventually gaining enough recognition that at 22, he designed the statues and sets for the 2023 Brit Awards.

As for Slawn’s two Air Max 90s, we see a splatter paint finish applied to the front half of the sneaker, which is relatively untouched compared to the back half. From the midfoot panel back to the heel, including the Swoosh, we see a molded and textured leather that appears almost handcrafted. A direct reference to one of Slawn’s art pieces, Ugly Bastard, is found on the heel tab, replacing the usual Nike Air Text. Another detail unique to Slawn’s AM90 is found on the top eyelets, in metallic silver on the Black pair and metallic gold on the Sail pair.

The Slawn x Nike Air Max 90 Pack will release in Spring 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $150.
