The Jordan Brand isn't the only one with a major birthday this year. Nike's Air Max 90 celebrates 35 years of being Nike's comfiest and trustiest sneaker. It's no wonder Nike has dropped many great versions of the Air Max model as of late, including these handsome new GORE-TEX pairs.

Yes, Nike's Air Max 90 is getting yet another GORE-TEX upgrade, transforming the cozy casual shoe into a sleek waterproof stepper. Now, it's really a no-fail sneaker, even on messy days.

Aside from the GORE-TEX update, the latest Air Max 90 keeps all the other great ingredients that make it Nike's highly favored silhouette.

Specifically, the model offers various textures like smooth suede, breathable mesh, and creamy leather.

The Air Max also maintains its immensely cushy construction, including the famous visible Air in the soles.

Moreover, the Nike Air Max 90 comes in an incredibly bold "Volt" colorway, which features grey, black, and white plus a few neon green splashes. Nothing complicated — let that waterproof membrane do the talking.

At 35, Nike's Air Max 90's still got it. And then some!

In its birthday year alone, the model has received several stunning makeovers, from volcano-inspired designs to Tiffany-flavored versions, each better than the last and setting new standards of 90 supremacy.

Nike's Air Max 90 GORE-TEX "Volt" sneakers help advance the model's undisputed legacy with the perfect birthday outfit to keep you dry.
