On 26 March some 33 years ago, world-renowned sports and streetwear label — Nike, debuted its very first sneaker named the Air Max 1 featuring the now-iconic Swoosh Air technology through a transparent sole window. Over the ensuing years, the continual evolution of its design with Air Manufacturing Innovation has produced some of the most remarkable performance sneakers we know, that lives up to its equally impressive aesthetics.
For Air Max Day 2020, Nike is revisiting its archives of countless Air Max releases over the years, and will be dropping some of their most covetable variations of its iconic classics that you must have!

While the future as we know it may be uncertain at this moment, the Air Max 2090 finds its place in an imagined futuristic landscape dominated by electric and solar-powered vehicles. And these sneakers aren’t just a looker, for its sci-fi aesthetic features all serve functional purposes — never seen before thread lines for optimal traction, cushioning that supports the entire foot and an internal padded heel bootie for maximum comfort in use.
The Air Max Duck Camo Pack, on the other hand, is an archival masterpiece reworked and tweaked to feature the cult-favourite duck camo print front and centre, or under a diaphanous black layer.

Unfortunately, it’s exclusively available for women and toddlers only, but hey who’s to say that there aren’t gents out there who’ll be more than willing to squeeze into a pair.
