Even Nike's comfiest Air Max sneaker has a wild side.

The Nike Air Max 90 answers the call of the wild in such a classy way, too. The latest version features both smooth and pebbled leather layers, joined by a crocodile skin mudguard that wraps the sidewalls in luxurious reptilian scales.

Nike's iconic sneaker also features a pleasing color palette of off-white, beige, and brown hues, which only enhances the tasteful textures.

'Tis the season for sneakers to unleash their inner animal, really. Feral shoes aren't exactly a new phenomenon. However, as of late, sneaker brands have been particularly pushing the most premium versions of their wildest sneakers, ranging from scaly Vans skate shoes to $400 ostrich leather adidas sneakers.

We've seen croc Air Max 90s before. A few years ago, Nike even dropped furry camo pairs designed to blend in with its surroundings. But the latest are fresh, fall-ready, and just plain fancy.

Be on the lookout for the new Nike Air Max 90 "Croc Skin" sneaker, which is expected to release sometime during the autumn season on Nike's website.
