Nike Air Max 90 White Croc Skin '20 Years Special'

Nike celebrates the 20th anniversary of one of their notable trainers Air Max 90 with the release of a series of ultra limited versions of the model. We managed to get our eyes on this pair of Air Max 90 wrapped with the croc skin texture in white. A stunning pair indeed, however, it's extremely limited and we doubt you can get it anywhere, unless you're willing to spend some cash on it.


The quantity of this model has not been mentioned, but for an outstanding pair like this, it is wise not to provide a nice box with it.
