Quick Facts
- The exclusive colorway starts with detailed stitching in white against a white leather base on the toe and side panels, with even more premium leather covering the toebox and heel.
- A diamond-encrusted Swoosh shines bright against a black outline, and the gold chain laces with basketball charms at either end match the same set on the Air Force 1 and Air Foamposite One that make up the rest of the collection.
- The Victor Solomon x Nike Air Max 90 will be released exclusively at Shoe Palace Malibu in Los Angeles on February 13, 2026.
Let’s be real, NBA All-Star Weekend is about everything but the All-Star Game. Sure, there’s a new format this year, but if you’re traveling from out of state to LA this week, odds are you’re there to network, party, and cop exclusive sneakers first, and watch the All-Star game last. The real trophy of the weekend belongs to LA itself for unifying the expansive city into one massive celebration of culture. Luckily, artist Victor Solomon has been working on just the trophies, teaming up with Nike for a three-pack of shining tributes to LA, including this bejeweled Air Max 90.
The Victor Solomon x Nike Air Max 90 is one of three silhouettes designed by the LA artist dedicated to different neighborhoods in his home city. On the Air Max 90, Solomon shouts out the Downtown Diamond District, adding premium leather, detailed stitching, faux diamonds, and a gold chain. Oh yeah, and did we mention that only 1,000 pairs of this shoe will be made?
