The Nike Air Max 98 Gets Torn to Shreds
Sneaker Freaker predicted the rise of tearaway sneakers in 2020, and that prophecy is ringing true with another Nike Air Max 98 featuring removable panels that reveal vibrant colours underneath.
Starting with a literal blank slate, the all-white textile upper points out various areas that can be torn away. Underneath, a bright combination of blue, green, yellow and red comes through. Fun!
Question mark graphic insoles nod to the mystery factor of these 98s. Let’s not forget the pioneering Geoff McFetridge x Nike Vandal from 2003 that famously used tearaway panels.
Coming soon.
