Nike Air Classic BW Gen II – Torch – Spring 2010

Nike Air Classic BW Gen II – Torch – Spring 2010

nike-air-classic-bw-gen-2-torch-06

Nike introduced Flywire in 2008 and we’ve seen a ton of shoes updated with the space-age fabric.  As with the introduction of Free soles back in ’05, the Swoosh dropped a ton of updated retros, both this year and last.  Expect further enhancements of some of your favourite designs, now with a third significant update.

The Free-sole Nike Air Max BW Gen II doesn’t have Flywire, instead utilizing Nike’s new Torch material.  It’s a three layered ‘mesh’ that piles a diamond-like lattice over top of a middle grid layer, both of which sit atop a moisture-wicking base.

We saw that Rasheed Wallace asked for it on a pair of his infamous Nike Air Force 1 Highs, so it’s only natural that Torch will continue to pop up on your favourite models throughout 2010.  The best part is, it’s a technologically advanced fabric, but there’s less of it, so Torch is in line with the huge 2010 for Nike Considered Designs.
