The size? x Nike Air Max 90 “Soft Pearl” is basically a love letter to Air Max history, packed with subtle nods for real fans. The upper mixes soft neutrals and layered materials, but the details are where this pair really shines. On the lateral side you get chunky Off-White–style exposed stitching, while the medial features an A-Side moon-landing reference—two callbacks to iconic releases without feeling gimmicky. The cream tones running through the shoe echo the legendary “Bacon” palette, and the perforated toe box and tongue quietly salute Dizzee Rascal’s 2009 “Tongue N’ Cheek” collab, even down to the alternative lace setup.

Flip them over and the insider storytelling continues: the translucent outsole is stamped with style codes from some of the most grailed Air Max 90s ever made. All those touches sit on a clean Soft Pearl base that keeps the shoe wearable while delivering layers of heritage for anyone who knows the lineage. It’s thoughtful, nostalgic, and unmistakably size?—a proper tribute to the AM90 legacy.
