Nike has pulled a reverse UNO card, revealing a new remixed Air Max 90 “Infrared” sneaker.
The streets are calling the newest pairs “Infrared Flip.” That’s not to be confused with the “Icon Flip” collection, which saw several iconic Air Max sneakers swap outfits. The latest Air Max 90 borrows the famous “Infrared” colorway and, well, flips it.
Nike has released other reworked “Infrared” Air Max 90s over the years, including a special edition for the model’s 25th anniversary in 2015. Those were a stealthier flip.
2026’s switch-a-roo appears with mostly white leather, joined by black Air soles, black woven underlays, and a black leather Swoosh.
The cool thing about the “Infrared” Air Max 90s is that no matter how Nike rearranges the color scheme, they’re all just as clean as the original. Same goes for the new “Infrared Flip” versions.
We already saw the OG make a shiny return this year with reflective updates. Now, Nike’s giving us these nice “Infrared Flip” Air Maxes.
And 2027 only promises more goodies, like an all-new Air Max 90 Tech and a vintage-flavored “Lost Samples” sneaker (it’s like Jordan “Reimagined” meets the Nike Air Max 90).
Lucky for us, Nike’s Air Max 90 “Infrared Flip” sneaker is now available on the brand’s website for $135.
