- As one could imagine, the "Bacon" references the salty and savory breakfast meat with a red, pink, brown, and white color block
- The Nike Air Max 90 “Bacon 2021” is a rare colorway that was re-released by Nike for its annual Air Max Day celebration in March 2021
- The original Air Max 90 “Bacon” was created by New York City graffiti artist Dave Ortiz and was released exclusively at his Dave’s Quality Meat sneaker boutique in downtown New York City in 2004
- The modern “Bacon” is nearly identical to the look of the original shoe, save for the slightly darker shade of Sail used on the mudguard and base of the upper of the "OG" release
- Truly a sneaker that was lightyears ahead of its time, the first “Bacon” played a pivotal role in introducing the art of sneaker storytelling during a then-transitional period in sneakers that saw the niche hobby begin to become mainstream
