The Nike Air Max 90 "Infrared" is being issued in all sorts of special editions this year to celebrate the sneaker's 25th birthday.

It looks like some sneaker companies other than Nike are chipping in on the commemorative models too. Enter the Air C900 from Tesla Gears, a model so blatant in its rip-off status that it must be respected on some level. It's got the same shape and design, the same visible air bubble, and even the OG "Infrared" colorblocking.

For the sneaker collectors with no self-respect, this Air Max 90 knock-off can even be had at half price over at Amazon.
