The Nike Air Max 93 released in its OG Dusty Cactus colorway earlier this year, and the Swoosh is bringing back another classic with this Flame Red edition. The shoe gets a slight update as the highlighting hue is dubbed “Habanero Red” while neutral indigo and white is used for the majority of its upper made of leather and synthetics. Finally, black accents for the collar area, outsole and more pops of red on the visible Air Max cushioning completes the design altogether.

The Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit is a brand new silhouette from the Swoosh and it just debuted in a number of colorways. One of those is this New York Knicks-inspired pair featuring Racer Blue with Total Crimson hues. Featuring a Flyknit upper in white with blue, the orange accents are used for the branding on the lateral section and large Air bag unit in the heel, while completing the design is a white midsole and black Swooshes on the forefoot.

Set to begin releasing tomorrow, here’s an on-feet look at the ACRONYM x Nike Vapormax Moc 2 in Light Bone and Black.

The ACRONYM x Nike Vapormax Moc 2 in Light Bone and Black is one of the three different colorways that were designed as part of this newest collab between Errolson Hugh (Acronym founder)and Nike. The collab opts to keep the shoe relatively unchanged. Errolson saw this collaboration as a visual project because there is ?nothing retro about it”, so in his opinion, the shoe needed no modern updates since it was already updated and modernized.

The pattern on the Flyknit upper is abrand new camouflage-style print inspired by the letter A, which was actually designed by Stash for his ?Analog? logo. Errolson says: ?The patterning is basically the A from Acronym. It?s the original shape, and then it just gets turned into a grid. Each of the intersecting lines of the A inside the square makes the surface, and we just delete and inverse the various surfaces that result from those intersections. It makes for a kind of progression that you get these surprising shapes out of.?

There are a total of six different ACRONYM logos on each shoe. The pattern on the upper counts as a form of branding, but there are five other explicit representations of the name on the heel, insoles, and beneath the footbed.

Look for the ACRONYM x Nike Vapormax Moc 2 in Light Bone and Black to release on March 24th at select retailers worldwide, and again on March 26th (Air Max Day) on Nike SNKRS.

The post Release Reminder: ACRONYM x Nike Vapormax Moc 2 Light Bone Black appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Errolson Hugh, co-founder of ACRONYM, has worked on three previous Nike models: the Lunar Force 1 (2015), much-lauded Presto (2016) and AF1 Downtown (2017). Each of these introduced a plausible solution to solve a discrete functional problem (for example, the Lunar Force 1 incorporated an easy-entry zip component).

He took a slightly different approach for his fourth shoe with the brand, a Nike Air VaporMax Moc 2. ?There is absolutely nothing retro about it. It’s so forward,? he says of the shoe. ?The physical aspect of it, once the laces are removed and with the elastic tongue?there is not really much that we felt we wanted to do functionally because it?s great.?

Instead, he and his team pivoted from their typical design process and considered the shoe ?as a visual project.? They contemplated graphic applications conveying aggression and speed. And within these experiments, considered just how far they could possibly push while still keeping the shoe wearable.

Eventually, Hugh landed on a unique take on camouflage he built off his brand?s wordmark. ?The patterning is basically the A from Acronym. It’s the original shape, and then it just gets turned into a grid. Each of the intersecting lines of the A inside the square makes the surface, and we just delete and inverse the various surfaces that result from those intersections. It makes for a kind of progression that you get these surprising shapes out of,? he says.

Through trial and error, it emerged that printing it onto the finished knit upper was the best application. This is because the graphic further deforms as the Flyknit is stretched over the last and attached to the VaporMax outsole. The resulting look is thus simultaneously arresting and covert ? apropos of Hugh’s legacy of bold silhouettes replete with hidden detailing.

The ACRONYM x Nike Air VaporMax Moc 2 releases March 23 in all colorways exclusively on acrnm.com.

The initial launch is followed by release of the Light Bone/Volt/Light Bone colorway on March 26, the Black/Black/Volt on April 26 and the Sail/Cargo Khaki/Dark Stucco on May 15. These will all be available on their respective launch dates on the Nike SNKRS app, nike.com and at select Nike retailers. Each pair will retail for $225.

Looks like it actually is happening! Nike and Sean Wotherspoon will be releasing toddler-sized versions of the Nike Air Max 1/97 Sean Wotherspoon. Just like the adult-sized version, the Nike Air Max 1/97 Sean Wotherspoon appears to rock the same aesthetic and construction. Same colors, same corduroy, same branding, just in miniature form. The only difference that we’re able to spot is the branding on the tongue, instead of coming with a Nike and Wave velcro patch the toddler-sized version only comes with the Wave branding that’s actually stitched on to the shoe. Priced at $100, the Nike Air Max 1/97 Sean Wotherspoon Toddler is expected to release on March 31st.

It’s hard to go wrong with a grey sneaker, am I right? I mean grey goes with pretty much any and everything it can be worn with ease. That is also the case with this new premium iteration of the Air Max 1. Looking at this sneaker we see that the entire upper has been done in grey, specifically Cool Grey and Wolf Grey. The entire upper is also constructed out of suede with perforations landing on the toe, midfoot, ankle, and heel. A white midsole and grey rubber outsole cap off the look on this Air Max 1 can be purchased now at select Nike retailers for $130.

On deck we have two new colorways of the Nike SB Blazer Low in what makes up the SB Blazer Low Canvas Deconstructed Pack.

Just as the name implies, these new SB Blazer Lows are made out of a canvas upper making them ideal for everyday wear, especially during the Spring and Summer seasons. The two color options we take a look at here are a Clay Green and Black, both taking the tonal route on the upper for a simple look. Both are then finished off with white textured rubber midsoles and pink herringbone outsoles providing some contrast as well as a pop of color.

The Nike Air Zoom Spiridon will be shining this Spring as Nike has decided to cover the retro model with patent leather uppers. Seen  above in two completely different colorways, these iterations of the Air Zoom Spiridon are dominated by a patent leather on a good portion of the upper along with the signature open mesh netting that wraps around the toe, side panels, and heel. The two color options include an all-volt pair with hits of grey and black, and a Navy pair with white accents. Both pairs are then finished off with a white midsole and black rubber outsole.

You’ll be able to scoop up both of these colorways of the Nike Air Zoom Spiridon at select Nike Sportswear retailers in the near future. In the meantime let us know which pair you’re feeling more.

We knew another Skepta x Nike collab was in the works, we just weren’t sure which model it was going to be on. In addition to the rumored Skepta x Nike Air Max 97/BW collab , it now looks like the next Skepta x Nike collab will be on none other than the Nike Air Max Deluxe. Not familiar with this Air Max model? That’s because it’s an Air Max that made its official debut back in 1999 and hasn’t gotten much limelight ever since.

Above you will get a photoshop rendering of what the Skepta x Nike Air Max Deluxe courtesy of py_rates. All we know is that the shoe is expected to come dressed in a Black and Deep Red color scheme, but not other type of design information has leaked just yet. More info is sure to leak shortly since the Skepta x Nike Air Max Deluxe is rumored to be releasing during the month of July. Stay tuned.

To celebrate Air Max Day 2018, Nike has announced a number of exciting activities that reaffirm the power of Air Max as a platform for exploration.

 Each experience and launch is evidence of Nike?s unrelenting spirit of innovation, turning imagination into reality.

NIKE AIR GALLERY 

Air has been an integral part of Nike and has transcended into popular culture for over 30 years. In celebration of the next generation of Nike Air, we?ve partnered with a select group of artists to turn their imagination into reality using the Air Max 270 as their inspiration. Inspired by Air, it?s their creativity, passion and community that moves us and the future of Air.

Nike will ignite cities from East to West coast and through a digitally connected experience via SNKRS. Beginning with Los Angeles, artists like Dear Giana and Bijou Karman will showcase how Air inspires LA to dream. Move around Chicago on Air Max Day to check out works by Evan Sheehan and Diana Pietrzyk showcased throughout the city. In Toronto, Maria Qamar (Hatecopy) and Hallie Tut share their visions of Air. New York features multiple artists including Shaun Crawford and Buckley as they carry on the artistic legacy of Air.

On Air Max Day (March 26), stay tuned to SNKRS for an exclusive Air Max drop in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City.

NIKE: ON AIR 

From March 22 to April 15, Nike will be hosting Nike: ON AIR, a design workshop series in Paris, London, New York, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo that engages participants in the Nike footwear design processes. The program grants participants (no prior experience in product design is required) an opportunity to create the ultimate articulation of one of 10 Air Max icons for their city through creative sessions that will encompass the briefing, concept building and mood boarding stages of design.

In New York, NIKE: ON AIR sessions will run from March 27 to March 31. Participants are asked to envision a new Air Max for NYC, taking inspiration from what it means to them and their experiences in it. Nike designers, with help from guest mentors like Nike athlete Lacey Baker, creatives Erin Magee, Nicole Albino and Julian Consuegra and others from the local creative community, will guide the approach principles, which involve innovative problem solving, sustainable materials and manufacturing.

The day is shaped by the following five stages of footwear product creation: Concept development, Silhouette selection, Material exploration, Color exploration and Embellishment.

Upon completion of the Nike: ON AIR program, each participant will submit their Air Max concept to a judging panel, including Nike designers and city ambassadors, who will select the top three designs from each city. From there, these concepts will be turned into 3D designs that will go to a global vote on nike.com/onair (in a style akin to last year’s Vote Forward campaign). The most-voted design per city will go into production and be made available at a later date.

NIKE AIR VAPORMAX X ACRONYM ®

Nike and Acronym founder Errolson Hugh reimagine the pioneering Nike Air VaporMax. The design desperado tips his hat to the breakthrough sneaker, putting forth three colorways that evoke the art of disguise and an unexpected vision of the future. Acronym camo prints dominate the Nike Flyknit upper, while the laceless design, modified heel clip, and bold texture treatments reflect Errolson?s trademark industrial aesthetic.

In celebration of the Nike Air VaporMax x ACRONYM and Air Max Day (March 26), Nike partnered with Errolson Hugh and John Mayer to create a teaser film that brings the new footwear to life in a way that?s made for the silver screen.

The Johnny?s Icy Passage colorway will be available at select US retailers March 24 and globally on nike.com and SNKRS app March 26. $225

Check out the Film.
