Four colours, none of them quiet. Flash Lime covers the base, black fills the overlays and panels, Hyper Jade shades the mid-sections, and Infrared cuts in as the accent, which means two greens and a red are fighting for the same shoe. It works because the black separates them. The Infrared is the historical note. The colour was chosen for the 1990 original specifically to draw attention to the thickness of the visible Air unit, and it has functioned ever since as the model's signature, appearing on anniversary pairs as a marker of lineage rather than as a design choice.
Retail was listed at $120. The anniversary series reworked the silhouette through materials and palette while leaving the construction alone, so this pair keeps the layered side panels, the moulded heel window and the waffle-pattern outsole exactly as Tinker Hatfield laid them out. Bright multi-colour versions like this are the ones that date most clearly to their moment, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on the buyer.
