Four colours work into a shoe this small. Black leather forms the base, Dark Smoke Grey shades the mid-panels, Asparagus green picks out the accents, and Metallic Silver catches on the hardware and branding. Green and silver together is an unusual pairing on the 90, and it gives the toddler pair more character than the plain black versions that usually fill the size band. Retail was $75 in November 2020. Toddler builds swap the standard lacing for an adjustable strap and a wide throat opening, which is the only structural change from the adult shoe.
Everything else scales down intact. The layered panel arrangement runs up the side, the heel holds a visible Air unit inside its moulded window, and the outsole keeps the waffle-pattern tread. Nike tends to use the smallest sizes to try colour combinations that would be a harder sell on adult pairs, and this one fits that pattern: darker than a typical kids' shoe, but with enough green in it to avoid looking like a shrunken office shoe.
