Guava Ice is one of Nike's warmer pastels, sitting between peach and pink, and using it as a full-body colour rather than an accent gives the shoe a soft, single-tone read. White on the midsole is the only break. The EZ build is a lightened take on the silhouette. Nike trimmed the layering and simplified the construction compared to a standard 90, so the shoe sits lighter on the foot while keeping the recognisable outline, the panel divisions and the visible Air unit at the heel.
It released in June 2018 at $120. Tonal pastels in women's sizes were a consistent theme for the model through that period, usually arriving in spring and summer runs and usually paired with a white sole rather than a matching one. The approach suits the shape: because the 90's panels are defined by seams as much as by colour, a single shade does not erase the design, it just quietens it.
