Nike’s Air Max 90 Light Orewood Brown layers patent shine with translucent panels
Style IX8056-104 combines mesh, glossy mudguards and a metal Swoosh tag. A US retailer lists $145; November 1 is the current release reference, with supply varying by market.
Nike’s Air Max 90 Light Orewood Brown gathers glossy surfaces, mesh and translucent panels within a muted palette. Identified as IX8056-104, its cream and pale-brown tones keep the outline quiet while light passing through or reflecting from materials supplies the change. US retailer Foot Locker already lists the style at $145. Current release information separately points to November 1, which does not establish one first-sale date for every market; local retailers remain the reference for purchases.
A 1990 outline, with new material layers
Designed by Tinker Hatfield and launched in 1990 as the Air Max III, the shoe took the Air Max 90 name after its 2000 reissue, according to Nike’s archive account. This edition retains the visible heel Air and layered upper as recognition cues. The change concerns surfaces rather than an entirely different silhouette, making familiar profile lines a useful baseline for comparison.
The semi-translucent outsole continues the material theme.
Mesh at the toe and collar creates a regular pattern of small openings. Translucent panels move along the sides and lacing area, leaving underlying textures visible. Areas normally separated by opaque panels become layers with visible depth. Cream-toned laces and lining avoid sharp colour breaks, directing attention toward the intersection of mesh, clear surfaces and stitching rather than a single bright patch.

Glossy mudguards and a small metallic accent
Patent-leather-effect mudguards near the sole reflect light clearly against the drier-looking mesh. The curved surface runs around the toe and sides, retaining a familiar part of the Air Max 90 composition while becoming one of its brightest areas. Profile and detail views show how quiet colours can clarify differences in sheen. Photographs describe appearance, while softness and wear resistance require separate assessment.
The heel area combines patent shine and midsole texture.
Tongue branding and heel tabs continue the translucent treatment, leaving logos visible beneath a surface layer. A semi-translucent outsole extends the idea underfoot, with the familiar Air window still visible through the midsole side. A patterned, openwork metal Swoosh tag adds another reflection on a smaller scale. Available information does not identify it as a solid-silver jewel, so its appeal can be described through colour and detail without assigning an unverified precious-metal value.

Checking the price, date and style code
The full colour listing is Light Orewood Brown/Blue Tint/Sail/Neutral Olive. Searching IX8056-104 is more precise than beige Air Max. The $145 figure is a US retail price, not a Taiwan-dollar quotation or a worldwide total including taxes and shipping. November 1 is the currently published release reference. An existing retailer page does not guarantee immediate stock in every size, nor turn one shop’s timing into a worldwide launch.
A metal Swoosh tag carries an openwork pattern.
Check Foot Locker’s IX8056-104 listing for sizing and supply, and Nike’s Air Max 90 history for the original model. Considering the profile, heel and outsole together reveals transparency as a repeated design language rather than one isolated accent. For everyday styling, consider how much upper the trouser hem reveals, whether to retain the tag and a personal preference for glossy surfaces.
