Every year Nike releases countless colorways of the Nike Air Max 90, but no colorway has ever reached the same level of popularity as the the Infrareds. Even with numerous re-releases, sneakerheads can’t seem to get enough of this design. With so much demand, what is a company to do? Release them again, of course. The Air max 90 Infrareds are scheduled to release overseas in February, followed by a U.S. release this spring. Here’s a first glance at the 2015 edition.

Here’s a direct link to Nike iD if you’d like to create your own colorway.
