You read about it last week, saw a couple of rough renderings. But today comes your first look at the
nike air max 90 black, a shoe rife with potential if ever there were one.
Marrying together classic aesthetics and innovative technology, the Flyknit Air Max 90 swaps in a seamless, all-woven construction, replacing the usual leather, mesh and/or suede. A Hyperfuse film delineates the model’s signature mudguard without adding bulk, and the whole thing is built atop a cushy, cored-out foam midsole. Best of all, the shoe looks to be launching in the AM90’s iconic “Infrared” colorway — that beloved mix of white, grey, black and bright red.
Check out the first four
nike air max 90 Ultra Essential colorways below — Nike Air Max 90 Ultra 2.0 Flyknit, officially — and stay tuned for a release date.
We world-premiered it back in December, and now — finally! — the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit is set to arrive imminently.
Reinventing one of the Swoosh’s most iconic silhouettes in one of its most beloved innovations, the
nike air max 1 ultra flyknit employs a knit construction overlaid with seamless mudguard and Swoosh. The Flyknit shifts between open and closed construction to delineate the AM1’s classic paneling, keeping the aesthetics decidedly classic yet utterly modern.
Earlier this week we previewed the Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0, the second generation of the foam-soled, modernized AM1. It was a departure, sure, but now we have our first glimpse of the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 SI — a mouthful and the real game-changer.
The reimagined model sport the foam midsole and sleek, largely seamless upper we’ve come to expect from Ultras, but that’s only the half of it.
The ripstop synthetic construction seems to feature a translucent tint, a window into the lining beneath, and it’s overlaid with rubberized taping that delineates the seams, replacing traditional panels. Finally, though we’ll need a more detailed look to confirm, the shoe appears to be of the slimmer, deconstructed variety.
Flat out one of the wildest
nike air max 1 ultra essential we’ve ever seen, the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 SI is expected on shelves in late-2016. Alas, at the moment all we have is women’s editions, but here’s hoping that changes.
