The Nike Air Max 90 "Infrared" will be all over the place this year in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the shoe and the associated colorway.

A straight-up return of the original "Infrared" style hasn't been revealed yet, but in the meantime there are approaches like these that switch out the traditional materials. In their stead are cork, velvet, snakeskin, and more. Also included in the group is a slightly more traditional suede and mesh pair, which is reminiscent of some of the un-Infrared color reversals of old.

This set of Nike Air Max 90 "Infrared" flips has had a couple of different rumored release dates attached, and the latest info has it as an April release.
