Jasmine Tang In celebration of Nike Air Max Day this year, the Swoosh introduced the world to the Nike Air Max Pre-Day—a silhouette that combined modern cushioning with ’70s design cues. For its next Max Air proposition, the Nike Air Max 2021, the sportswear brand deviates from retro styles to deliver a rather futuristic look.
As seen on the GS pair that was revealed earlier, the debut blue pair sports a nylon-like upper that exhibits a subtlely gridded pattern. Meshes, dotted decals, and perforations continue the geometric theme across the model. While the lateral side sports a navy Swoosh decal, the medial side opts for matching blue branded overlays and mudguards that create a space-age appearance. Elements such as the padded collar and exaggerated lacestays are also a reflection of modern design trends in footwear. As for the sole unit, the pair sees a blue and white gradient overly stacked above an Air Max-cushioned midsole. The heel reveals a tall green Air unit that opts for a unique peapod shape to further amp up the futuristic factor of the upcoming offering.
Take a closer look at the Air Max 2021 below, which will hit the listed retailers on August 5th.
