The old-school look continue wth the a new offering that pairs “Cool Grey” with aqua—a color combo reminiscent of the bold footwear designs that were popularized back in the day.
To start the style off, the mesh and suede base exhibits a full “Cool Grey” coloring. The crisscrossing overlays at the midfoot are also in a matching grey for a tonal look. Profile swooshes add a burst of aqua on each side and are animated by black outlines. To offset the predeominantly greyscale look, aqua is further applied to branded elements on the tongue and heel pull loop. A white midsole and a full-length Air unit borrowed from the classic Nike Air Max 97 rounds out the design while maintaining a retro aesthetic.
