Nike has kept the classical Air Max 90 on a busy schedule all-year round, and rightfully so considering that 2020 marks the model’s 30th birthday. Through October the silhouette has been revealed through collaborative projects, colorways both modern and retro alike, and has even undergone an attempted name switch by the Swoosh team to its original moniker of the Air Max III.Nike Air Max 90 Doraemon Straying away from themed-outfits emblematic of the upcoming Christmas and Dia de Los Muertos holidays, the Sportswear staple is now revealing a three-toned iteration that may spark memories of one particular Japanese manga character. Much like the Doraemon-inspired Nike SB Dunks that released last month, this rendition alternates its upper overlays between similar “Photo Blue” and “University Red” accents; only it falls just a tad bit short in exact color schemes related to the fictional anime figure as it is lacking any yellow notes. Other details to point out on this pair include that of the remixed tongue logos and footbed graphics, both of which are done up with a 3D-inspired look.
Buy Cheap Yeezy Boost 350 shows no signs of slowing down with its string of retro releases, and next up from the Three Stripes’ special project division is the FYW Secant, appearing in two archived colorways.Dropping in “Hyper Pop/Dash Gray” and a very brave “Semi Frozen Yellow/Clear Onix/Light Blue” colorway, the FYW Secant draws from adidas‘ archive of trail shoes from the 1990s and early 2000s that have since become incredibly sought after.All around the FYW Secant you’ll find details and nods to trail sneakers of the past, as well as lots of influence from adidas’ archive. For example, the FYW “Freddy” logo is embossed onto the sole unit, while its rugged outsole is actually made up of raised EQT logo shapes, round nodules, and pressure point details that offer multidirectional grip.Nylon, mesh, and leather have been combined on the upper to create a fittingly retro paneled aesthetic that’s complete with 3M details on the eyelets and tongue — the latter sporting a classic adidas EQT logo. Another touch of branding is placed on a diagonal on the grosgrain textile mesh eyestay towards the vamp.
After a “Light Bone” and Pendleton-constructed departure, the Nike Air Max 97 is returning to basics with its latest women’s colorway.Mens Jordan 2020 Hued in monochromatic fashion, the pair strikes a balance between dark neutrals and its upper’s bold “University Red” hues. The upper features the color in spades, creating a scheme that loosely reminds of the Triple Red trends that made headway years prior. Leather overlays, mesh unders, and the various accents laid over top all resemble one another with the same pigment, though certain elements contrast in marginally darker variation. Soles, then, add a fair bit of neutrals as the midsole and tread ground in white and black, respectively; the cushioning placed in parallel, however, complements the aforementioned with matching internals.
