Sneaker culture often finds its inspiration in unexpected places, and the next Nike Air Max 90 “Baroque Brown” is no exception. Although it is not an official collaboration, the earthy tones and the practical style of the shoe recall the uniforms of UPS employees, these little -known heroes who bring the community of sneakers to life by delivering the coveted models and managing resale shipments.
The “Baroque Brown” color is based on an aesthetic that is both robust and refined. An entirely leather upper anchored the design, while a brilliant finish on the tip and the lateral panels adds a subtle contrast. A neutral khaki color appears on the tongue label, the heel logo and the apparent air unit, creating a utilitarian and high -end look. The color palette reflects the emblematic brown and beige colors of UPS, even if Nike insists that the resemblance is fortuitous. A second air max 90 in a shade “Cave Stone/Adobe” is also planned, further emphasizing the brand’s interest in sober colors inspired by work clothes.
This is not the first time that Nike has paid tribute to the transport giant. In 2021, the brand launched an Air Force 1 Experimental decorated with false shipping labels and follow -up details, arousing jokes on a “UPS pack”. If the Air Max 90 “Baroque Brown” avoids literal references, its palette of colors pays tribute to the daily life of the deliverers.
Note the date in your agendas: the Nike Air Max 90 “Baroque Brown” (reference IH2063-200) will be officially available in the fall of 2025. At a price of 140 dollars, it will be available in men’s sizes on the Nike and some resellers.
