Eastside Golf is expanding its five-year partnership with Nike by reimagining the Air Max 90 Golf, the brand's heritage runner adapted for the course.

The Partnership Deepens
Eastside Golf's collaboration with Nike has matured into one of the most consistent design partnerships in contemporary golf footwear. Now five years deep, the California-based lifestyle label has proven its ability to translate streetwear sophistication onto performance silhouettes without sacrificing function. The Air Max 90 Golf represents a natural extension of that vocabulary—taking one of Nike's most recognizable running silhouettes and threading it through the brand's growing golf-specific footwear initiative.
This pairing arrives as part of Eastside Golf's broader Fall/Winter 2026 collection, which also includes a complementary NEXT% Tour 3 release. The dual-model approach signals a deliberate strategy: establishing Eastside Golf not as a one-off collab operation, but as a legitimate voice within Nike's golf ecosystem.
Design Details
The Eastside Golf x Nike Air Max 90 Golf trades loudness for restraint. Almost entirely rendered in black leather and mesh, the shoe builds visual interest through material differentiation rather than aggressive color blocking. A glossy mudguard features repeating Eastside Golf script in a reflective finish, mirrored by a similarly lustrous Swoosh along the lateral and medial sides. Honeycomb-patterned mesh appears across the toe box, tongue, and collar—a textural choice that recalls golf heritage while serving the shoe's breathability on the course.
Gold accents appear strategically: metallic lace dubraes and Eastside Golf branding on the tongue ground the design in luxury without veering into maximalism. The sole retains the Air Max 90's iconic windowpane unit but features modified traction patterns engineered for grass and turf, keeping the shoe tethered to its golf purpose.
A Pattern in the Golf Catalog
Eastside Golf previously collaborated with Nike on the Air Max 1 '86 Golf, establishing a through-line in how the brand approaches Nike's running archive. Rather than creating bespoke golf models, Eastside Golf has chosen to sanctify existing runners—the 1 and now the 90—and retrofit them for course play. This curatorial approach positions golf footwear not as a separate category, but as a natural extension of sneaker culture, where heritage silhouettes gain new utility and meaning.
The Air Max 90 Golf itself sits within a larger category of Nike's golf adaptations, though Eastside Golf's input elevates the offering into something more refined than standard performance-first offerings. The black-and-gold palette and material execution suggest a shoe equally at home in a pro shop or on a streetwear forum.
