The Nike Air Max 90 Tweed Dark Army features a subdued colour scheme with flashes of vibrant orange that accentuates a cosy, adaptable design.

The Nike Air Max 90 Tweed Dark Army version has an embossed grid design on a textile upper with a tan colour similar to tweed. The bottom portion of the top is embellished with overlays of dark brown synthetic leather and dark brown leather. The tongue is made of the same bright orange textile as the upper, while the Nike Swoosh is made of bright orange leather. There is an Air unit visible on the white foam midsole. Raised blocks and ridges on the black, dark brown, and orange rubber outsole offer traction.
