Michael Le Though common, Triple Black is a staple amongst sneakers. And whenever in doubt, it’s easy for brands to fall back on the colorless palette. Nike seems to have found themselves in that corner, as they bring the scheme to the recently debuted Air Max Genome.
Straightforward, understated, and inarguably subdued, the colorway is nothing short of simple. It takes the neutral tone and applies to every fixture, including the mesh tongue, laces, and synthetic-filled upper construction. Even the tooling follows suit, pairing a rather lackluster midsole with a tinted Air Unit window. Above, where branding would typical sport pops of color, there’s little immediately of note; however, it’s likely both the side Swoosh and tongue logo are both reflective.
