Like Runaan's Hurricane the item would be somewhat situational. You can buy it as a Attack Speed source, if your build lacks it in the first place. Also, it is good if you are a 'Duelist' against another 'Duelist', or if the enemy team is highly attack speed based. I imagine these champions would like it:

Yasuo Aatrox Fiora Gangplank Irelia Jax MasterYi Shaco Trundle Tryndamere As Attack Speed-based Duelists they would like it, if they are in a lane against another Duelist or if the enemy team is highly Attack Speed based. Maybe even if the enemy Marksman is fed, as a countering measure.

Braum Malphite Nautilus Shen Volibear Warwick XinZhao As 'Tanks' that are somewhat Attack Speed based and can make use of the item while reducing the damage enemy Light Fighters or Marksmen deal.
But it would be highly situational.

So, Opinions? :D

P.s. : Zephyr is called Zephyr even though it's an ability of Janna's.

Since when is xin zhao a "tank"

I feel that the potental for 90% attack speed, but no other stats on an item seems a bit out of place. Runans is in a bad enough spot as it is.

maybe if you lowered the attack speed to like 50% and gave it movement speed but kept the passive than it would be better and less out of place i guess. because as it is there aren't enough movement speed items.

also have to consider which items build into it. giving it some some other passive down the line maybe a bit of extra cool down reduction to go with the 2 other stat boosts making this an item for speed and only speed.

I think it needs some heavy balancing. I might recommend nerfing the attack speed to 45% and maybe giving it something a bit more unique, (I like the idea of giving it tenacity but I'm not sure if Riot is trying to cycle out Tenacity as a stat in the long run).
