Purple Suede Hits Nike's Air Max 90/1
Last month, Nike revived their OG hybrid, the Air Max 90/1, in its original red/white colourway. It introduced new-gen Swoosh fiends to Nike’s history of mishmashing silhouettes and rode the wave of hybrid hype.
They’re not stopping there, adding a purple suede make-up to the mix. On-foot shots courtesy of karl.lashnikov show a tonal purple upper, offset with a black Swoosh and Nike Air branding. For all its colour, it comes off pretty clean, helped by the ‘Sail’ midsole and contrasting black outsole.
No word yet on when they’ll hit stores, but we’ll let you know.
