Finishing up the 5-pack of Infrared-colorblocked Air Max 90 “recrafts”, I present these Nike Air Max 90 OG Hyper Royal. Not only did I have, and sell, my original pair of these, I then went on to get the 2024 version that released. The shoes are nearly identical except for one key difference which I will get to in the materials section of this review.

So, what’s the deal with the sneaker collection (Seinfeld Voice)? Right around 2008, I’d just lost a lot of weight and was in need of an entirely new wardrobe. I was in the process of buying newer, smaller clothes and the time came for a new pair of shoes. Rather than pick some ordinary pair like I normally would, I opted for a more interesting and unique looking pair. The response from others was so strong and positive that I decided to look more into the different kinds of cool sneakers and discovered that collecting sneakers is similar to collecting comics, baseball cards, or any other of the numerous hobbies I had when I was a kid! I’ve been into sneakers ever since – to the extent that I even got an article written about me in the paper! I’ve also been collector of the month in Solecollector Magazine (issue #47)!
I built up a lot of my collection looking for deals on slept-on pairs! I also post deals I find on this very site when I have time.
As for the photography aspect, check out any Sneaker related websites (there are many), and you will typically find posts filled with awesome, artsy footwear shots. I like learning about cameras and taking interesting shots, and it turns out there are actually sites online where you can get recognized for both your collection and photography skills at the same time! You can check out some of my most recent shots below. If you’re curious, I currently shoot with a Nikon D3100 (Amazon link) and mostly use a 50mm lens.
My eBay account is where I list my current sneakers available for sale (if I happen to be selling any).
Here are some quick links to different categories of sneakers:
Nike Air Max 90 Black University Gold Review
The Nike Air Max 90 Black & University Gold came in pretty quietly, without much hype or buzz, but sometimes that’s the best setup for a sleeper pick. The sneaker gets its name from the colorway.

Originally a red-overlayed Japan-exclusive from 2004, a new Urawa-themed Air Max 1 made its long-awaited return in 2023. Kind of like the first release was a home jersey colorway and this one is the away. I’d wanted these when they dropped but never pulled the trigger — fast forward to 2025, and Nike surprise restocked them on their site and knocked the price down. No brainer.

Nike continued its camo Air Max 90 rollout in 2025 with the Nike Air Max 90 Aurora Green Camo colorway, bringing a cooler vibe to the mix. While the silhouette stays the same, this pair swaps in Aurora Green with light blue accents for a fresh contrast that feels subtle but sharp. Compared to the Lemon Twist version, this one dials back the brightness and shifts the camo toward more tan and brown tones, giving it a more earthy, wearable feel.

The Nike Air Max 90 Lemon Twist Camo is the first camoflage-printed Air Max I’ve ever owned! Nike’s dropped a good number of camo-themed Air Max 90s over the years, and for 2025, they rolled out a whole pack with different camoflage-infused colorways. This pair takes the light, punchy yellow from the Lemon Twist AM90s and adds a camo spin to it—subtle but eye-catching.

The Nike Air Force 1 Color of the Month in White & University Red keeps it clean and classic. The Color of the Month concept taps into a slice of Air Force 1 history. Back in 1984, some Baltimore shops started dropping custom colorways of the AF1 each month to keep the silhouette alive. That grassroots movement helped turn the AF1 into the iconic staple it is today — and this modern series, which started in 2022, pays homage to that moment.
