Nike Blends Old And New With The Air Max 270 Futura

Nike’s next move for its lifestyle-engineered Air Max 270 heel unit is a brand new silhouette given a “Futura” monicker. The Swoosh Brand is clearly looking to connect the past with the future in this silhouette as its new-look upper takes a page right out of Nike’s mid-90’s playbook. Its upper takes clear design cues from the cult-classic Triax 96 sneaker that sported the same midfoot sun ray look as well as the same eyelet design structure. Its midfoot Swoosh features a much more rounded look than usual that looks as if it is a thinner version of the mark that is usually found on the iconic Blazer. Finally, a rubber heel plate finishes off this look in style in a matching blue hue that corresponds with the rest of this particular color scheme. Peep an official set of images for the Air Max 270 Futura below and expect its release to go down in the Fall of 2018.
