The Forecast Calls for “Thunderstorm”: Nike Reimagines This Classic Silhouette Once Again

The popular Nike Air Max silhouette is back, and this time, it's bringing the thunder. After giving us a volcanic eruption earlier this year, the brand now wraps the iconic trainer in a thundering design.

Meet the Air Max 90 "Thunderstorm," a new take on a favourite. The upper gets a blue pattern that looks like rain streaking down a window on a stormy day. It’s a clean application of the pattern, giving the shoe a unified appearance.

You'll find all the usual Air Max 90 features here, including that platformed, Air infused sole we all rely on. If only these "Thunderstorm" sneakers had GORE-TEX, they'd be fully equipped to handle a storm. By the way, for all the latest updates on highly anticipated trainer releases, make sure you download The Sole Supplier app.

The Air Max 90 remains a fantastic everyday trainer because of its dependable cushioning and sharp appearance. Nike consistently delivers distinctive designs, from smart, stitched up pairs inspired by Tokyo baseball teams to tough, woven versions that nod to Bottega.

Earlier this year, in February, Nike launched the Air Max 90 "Volcano," a truly striking trainer that also featured textured uppers, quite similar to what we see on this new "Thunderstorm" version. It's clear that the Nike Air Max 90 is establishing itself as a dominant presence in the sneaker world.

Look for the new "Thunderstorm" pairs to land this autumn on Nike's website for £145. For your best shot at grabbing these at retail, make sure you hit that 'Notify me' button. What's your take on this new storm themed Air Max 90? Are you looking to pick them up, or are you giving them a miss?
