I really just grabbed this shoe because it looked cool online! I was in the mood for some new 90s and lo and behold, these Nike Air Max 90 Ultra BR Pure Platinum were on sale at End Clothing.
The difference between some standard 90s and the Ultra BR has to do with the materials used (more on that below). I’ve always been a fan of the Pure Platinum color that Nike uses and I think this pair looks dope with the icey parts on the sole and 3M hit on the tongue tag to finish it off.
Nike is always trying to push their lines forward with different hybrids and takes on classics. These revamps usually wind up being panned by collectors, so we typically get a few colorways and then Nike moves on. I hope these stick around long enough for me to grab a couple more colorways!
No doubt Nike will generate some new modernized version of the Air Max 90 before we know it, so if you’re going to grab a pair of these, I recommend picking these up sooner rather than later. You never know when the sneaker world will move on and relegate these to a classic take on this silhouette. These things are so comfortable, I think most collectors don’t know what they’re missing!
How Are The Materials?
These Ultra BRs go for a mesh upper. They get some structure by having layers of mesh. At least, that’s how these appear to be constructed. The outsoles are different too. They seem to be built more closely to the Air Max 1 Ultra Moire when viewed from the bottom. All in all, the materials seem to be well put together and the knit appears to be of a good quality.
How Do They Fit?
These Nike Air Max 90 Ultra BR Pure Platinum fit true to size and are very comfy. The knit upper makes these more lightweight than standard Air Max 90s. The shape on these is also decent right out of the box.
