Nike Air Max 90 SP Medium Olive/Sequoia Launches November 13

Nike will release the Air Max 90 “Medium Olive and Sequoia” on 13 November 2026. The premium leather sneaker, retailing for $170, offers an earthy, understated alternative to the classic model. It launches at 10 a.m. ET through the SNKRS app and select retailers. A triple-black leather version arrives the same day at the same price point.

This new iteration is a serene remastering of Tinker Hatfield's original 1990 design. The familiar shape remains, but the construction shifts dramatically. The upper is made entirely of leather with soft, padded sections. This replaces the usual mix of mesh, suede, and plastic. The tonal olive and dark green palette provides subtle depth. It is an earthy alternative to the simultaneously releasing black pair.

Premium construction and restrained branding

The sneaker uses a fully leather upper with padded sections, omits traditional Air Max branding, and retains the classic waffle sole and visible Max Air cushioning. Branding is deliberately subdued. The Swoosh logo remains on the sides. You will also find subtle branding on the tongue label and insole. Notably, Nike has removed the traditional Air Max callouts. The heel tab lettering and the badge above the visible Air unit are gone.

The waffle outsole and the visible Max Air cushioning stay unchanged. This maintains the shoe's core identity. The padded leather construction gives it a distinct, elevated appearance. It stands apart from more familiar olive green releases. The treatment recalls Nike's earlier Vac-Tech releases and premium NikeLab material choices.

Strategic release and market positioning

The release coincides with a black leather edition at the same price, targeting premium casual wear with an earthy palette suited for denim and cargo styles. The two sneakers share identical construction, differing only in color. Their minimalist look aligns with current menswear trends toward refined casual staples.

The earthy olive palette is designed for versatility. It should work naturally with denim, cargo pants, and relaxed trousers. Nike is expanding its premium leather Air Max 90 lineup with this colorway. The shoe is positioned as a more luxurious, understated version of the classic runner.

Availability is set for Nike’s website, the SNKRS app, and selected retail stores. The launch is scheduled for 10 a.m. Eastern Time on November 13.
