Nike introduces the Mad 90 Pack, a new footwear and apparel capsule that reinterprets four of its most recognizable football boots through the lens of the Air Max 90.

The pack draws directly from four iconic boots: Hypervenom, Mercurial Vapor 2002, Total 90 Laser, and Tiempo 2005. Each model informs a distinct Air Max 90 reinterpretation, carrying forward the attitude, design language, and cultural associations of its original era. Together, the lineup builds a visual archive of football culture translated into a unified design system.
The Air Max 90 Hypervenom references the 2013 boot built for agile, unpredictable attacking play. The new silhouette merges Hypervenom detailing with Air Max 90 structure, echoing its bold identity through sharp lines and high-contrast materials that reflect its original on-pitch energy.
The Air Max 90 Mercurial takes inspiration from the Mercurial Vapor 2002, a boot associated with speed and precision. The updated design introduces fluid surface transitions and color-shifting tones, while a football boot tongue reinforces its direct link to performance footwear and early-2000s football aesthetics.
The Air Max 90 Laser 90 revisits the Total 90 Laser, focusing on its technical precision and graphic identity. A skeleton-style visual pattern appears through a transparent outsole, while strike-zone detailing and Total 90 branding replace classic Nike Air elements at the heel, reinforcing its performance-driven origin.
The Air Max 90 Tiempo reworks the 2005 Tiempo through a more expressive lens. Premium leather construction, stitched detailing, and quilted textures reference the original boot, while updated proportions and finishes introduce a contemporary edge to its traditionally classic profile.
Alongside footwear, the Mad 90 Pack includes apparel capsules inspired by global football communities. Hypervenom connects to Los Angeles culture and self-expression, Mercurial draws from the Korean Wave, Total 90 reflects early-2000s English football influence, and Tiempo references Chinese punk culture. Each segment expands the narrative beyond sport into cultural identity.
The Mad 90 Pack launches globally on May 11 via Nike and select retailers, with a North America release following on May 21.
