TLDR: The Nike Air Max 90 ‘Neon’ will be released on 5 March 2026 for €150. Inspired by the legendary Air Max 95 ‘Neon’, it combines grey gradient tones with striking neon accents. 2026 is all about the ‘Neon’ comeback at Nike. While the Air Max 95 ‘Neon’ with Big Bubble celebrates its big revival, the Air Max 90 also gets a fitting tribute in the iconic colour scheme.
The Air Max 90 ‘Neon’ takes the characteristic blocking of its 95 counterpart, but interprets it in the typical 90s shape. The upper starts with light grey mesh (Pearl Grey), which gradually transitions to darker charcoal and anthracite panels and finally black elements. This progression creates the familiar gradient look, only slightly more blocky.
The neon details add targeted highlights: the Swoosh, heel badge and visible Air element glow in bright neon yellow, creating the classic high-vis effect. The black midsole further enhances the contrast, while the mudguard, eyestays and striking panel structure give the model its unmistakable Air Max 90 DNA.
What makes this release special is its direct connection to the Air Max 95 ‘Neon’. Nike is not only celebrating one of the brand's most iconic colourways, but also bringing two generations of Air Max history together.
