Jasmine Tang In the past months, Nike has been building its roster of lifestyle-inspired golf shoes, giving particular attention to the Air Max 90. The trend of golf-ready Max Air styles ensues with the return of the Air Max 270 Golf in a refreshing pastel orange and teal arrangement.
Instead of the standard mesh base, the Golf proposition uses sleeve-like uppers in White and Photon Dust that prevent moisture from seeping in, while also providing a snug fit. The molded heel counter and signature 270-degree Max Air unit exhibit a pleasing ombre finish consisting of Light Dew and Crimson Tint. These two shades are also applied to other elements individually, with the teal hue seen on the heel loop, side Swoosh, and grippy outsoles—an added feature to prepare the silhouette for the golf course. Meanwhile, Crimson Tint solely colors the “AIR” logo found on the heel. Rounding out the look are Swooshes with the word “GOLF” sitting atop each, printed on the insoles.
Take a closer look at the Air Max 270 Golf below as you wait for the pair to roll into the listed retailers with a price tag of $150.
In other Swoosh-related news, the Blazer Mid ’77 is getting covered in “Team Red” suede.
