The Concords are not the last Women’s colorway OG retro AM90 I was going to get. These Nike Air Max 90 Hot Coral (AKA Air Max III Hot Coral) are yet another throwback from Nike way back to the OG colorways of the model.
I was initially going to pass on the women’s OG colorways, but decided instead complete the OG set. They may be women’s colorways, but they are not just for female fans of the model. Seeing how these are made up to a Men’s size 15 (Women’s 16.5), I can tell these are also for the collectors.
Similar to the other AMIII colorways, these come in a skinny red and grey Nike box. The box features a throwback boxtag on one side and the current tag on the other. They also come with an orange rubbery plastic hangtag, magenta anatomical arch supports and plain flat white laces.
The shoes feature a retro size tag on the inside of the tongue and have the size indicated inside the ankle.
How Are The Materials?
There’s nothing crazy going on here, its the same recraft level of quality of the other AM3 retros. The upper is mostly smooth leather and mesh with the felt swoosh. The materials feel soft and better than non-recraft AM90s, but the shoe isn’t what I would call a “materials” sneaker overall. This shoe exists purely to evoke that retro 1990 vibe and the materials are adequate for this function.
How Do They Fit?
I went true to size for these Nike Air Max 90 Hot Coral with a Women’s 11 in these, which is the equivalent of a Men’s size 9.5.
These are very comfortable, especially for longer walks. According to Nike’s website, these have an encapsulated air unit in the front of the shoe in addition to the bubble in back.
