Ross Dwyer The Nike Air Max 270 Bowfin is an interesting combination of two vastly different chapters in Nike’s history. The tooling and large heel Air Max unit — borrowed from the Air Max 270 — are extremely modern, but the shape and styling generally leans more towards a classic Nike ACG vibe. The Bowfin has released in a handful of bold colorways since first being revealed at the tail end of this summer, but now it’s surfaced in a scheme any OG ACG fan is sure to know and love: the legendary combo of tan, orange and purple typically associated with the Mowabb. A light tan is utilized for the base color, while the upper’s wild material medley of ripstop, mesh, and nylon boasts a combination of orange, black, and grey tones. Striking purple accents on the midfoot and toggle lacing system add further to the old-school contrast, and the look is then completed by a tan midsole, large orange heel Air Max unit, and black outsole with a rugged traction pattern. If you’re an ACG advocate, a true-blue Mowabb lover, or you just appreciate a well-done retro colorway, these new Bowfins will drop later this year on Nike.com for $160 USD.
