Review: This Curvy Girl is Going Unisex with her Nike Air Max 90 and Matching Sportswear

Nike Air Max 90 – Yasmina Greco

I thought it would be nice to start the New Year right off with a Nike review for you all about the Nike Air Max 90. The Air Max 90 was released in 1990 and is the second sneaker in the Air Max style. Nike gives the new Air Max 90s colored panels and a colorful Max Air unit for a popping finish. The Air Max 90s fit really well and are super comfortable and very stylish.

My first pair of Nike Air Max 90s and I got them in the great color combo of bright violet and white. In all honesty, these are men’s shoes!! I walked into a local Foot Locker to try on some Nike’s so I could see what style might work for me and was told from the women’s styles I picked out they had none in my size. I was bummed out!! The employee helping us was super nice and said to look in the men’s section, as a 9.5 size would work for me. I spotted these Air Max 90s and it was the turquoise blue color that caught my eyes and I was excited to try them on.

The 9.5 size worked out and now I needed a matching top. This particular store must not have restocked yet after the holidays because their women’s section was bare. I did find this turquoise top in sixe XL (again in the men’s section) and it matched the shoes perfectly so I scooped it up too. I love that in today’s world a girl can totally rock men’s shoes and shirts making it unisex and with turquoise being my favorite color, I was having a great shopping day.

On a side note, I know that Nike did come out with a plus size women’s line last year and I already have some of their items (posts to follow) and that I think it is so important for sportswear manufacturers to be size inclusive as many of the top brands are still only carrying sizes up to XL and some of us girls are curvy and need larger sizes in their clothing so we can be active and comfortable. Nike is definitely leading the size inclusivity category!!

Here are some pictures my sweet hubby Gary and I shot on New Year’s Day with the t-shirt and the Nike Air Max 90s. You can also see how I styled the outfit.

If you’ve been reading my blog you can probably tell I am partial to Puma RS-X shoes and in comparing these Air Max 90s to Puma RS-X sneakers I’d say they are a very high quality, light weight running shoes but don’t have as much cushioning as the Puma RS-X. But, the style of the Air Max 90s and colors are on point!! It is a great sneaker and I will be adding more to my closet.

Hurry on over to Foot Locker to snap up this Nike Air Max 90 (looks to be sold out already on the Nike website)

The sneakers are the fabulous Puma RS-X3 shoes and are full of colorblocking and Rubik’s Cube detailing that you’ll find on the laces (actual colorful square beads) left shoe has orange, yellow, blue and right shoe has green, white, and red beads.

This is a men’s shoe but, Puma does a great job at making their shoes unisex and I love that!! Wearing these shoes I couldn’t believe Puma made them even cushier and I felt like I was walking on clouds. I seriously love the RS-X shoes and especially this colorful Rubik’s Cube colorway.

Instant Style and Fun with the Puma RS-0 X Polaroid Sneaker

Posted on by
Puma RS-0 X Polaroid Sneaker

With Christmas just around the corner, I am feeling nostalgic and reminiscing about my childhood when my older brother would pull out his Polaroid camera and snap photos during the family gatherings. Nothing could beat the instant photo that slid out of that camera for everyone to see. Memories were instantly captured and guests could even leave with their very own Polaroid picture to remember the event.

The Polaroid instant film camera was a huge hit in the 80’s. Polaroid made instant film photography so much fun. Since Polaroid film has started being made again over the past few years and the Polaroid camera has been revamped into today’s modern instant film camera like the OneStep, the collaboration between Puma and Polaroid couldn’t be more timely with the Puma RX-O X Polaroid Sneaker.

My husband Gary is a Polaroid photographer and he also upcycles vintage Polaroid cameras via his upcycledclassics.com shop, cleans and repairs them, paints them in all sorts of bright and bold color block colorways so, being the fans of Polaroid and Puma that we are, getting our hands on the RS-O X Polaroid sneaker was great!!

The Polaroid RS-O X sneaker is a very high quality, incredibly comfortable and the cushioning is superb. The marshmallow color is subtle and goes with just about any outfit. The styling is spot-on with the iconic rainbow colors of the Polaroid color spectrum on the shoe tongue, there is leather and suede overlay, reflective details are also present and they represent the flash of the Polaroid cameras. The attention to detail on this shoe is amazing and it has already become a full-fledged collectors item. I am so excited for Christmas and all the instant Polaroid camera pictures we’ll be taking and capturing this season!!

SFMOMA in Puma RS-X Bold Sneakers

Posted on by

Spending time today at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) and I’ve got comfort and color on my mind. I knew right away I would be wearing my Puma RS-X Bold sneakers with a color block top. SFMOMA is full of inspiration and delight and I wanted to be filled with that vibe today.

The RS-X Bold comes in at least 3 colorways and today I chose the Black/ Andean Toucan/ Orange Popsicle sneaker. I have very picky feet when it comes to shoes and I just can’t stop talking about how much I love the Puma RS-X. This is one of the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn and I can’t get enough of all the colorways Puma is releasing. I love color and comfort!!

The RS-X dates to the 1980s and was a running system shoe, which Puma has since revamped with their innovative tech and fashion-forward style for today’s market. The RS-X provides extreme cushion making it one of the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. The RS-X bold is made of a black mesh upper with leather and rubber overlays in lots of bold color block colors, a chunky design and features the PUMA name right on the side. Even the soles of the shoes pop so you leave a trail of color wherever you go!!

I don’t know another shoe that can compliment a priceless Roy Lichtenstein pop art painting or a stunning Marilyn Monroe pop art screen print by Andy Warhol, but these shows sure do!! I’ve already snapped up so many Puma RS-X sneakers and can’t wait to share pics, styling and reviews on upcoming posts.  Hurry on over to Puma and snap up your RS-X sneakers in your favorite colorways before they sell out because once they are gone, they are gone!!
