Pack releases are a concept that feels as old as sneakers itself, but in recent memory, the era of the hyped multi-pair collection has instead given way to united groups of mainline shoes. While there’s several capsules of note on the horizon, the Swoosh is adding a paired set of Air Maxes that reside a bit below those well-reported sets, joined in “Burgundy Crush.”
While the “Burgundy Crush” and “Phantom” tones are the most obvious ties that bind between these two shoes, there’s also some material changes worth noting for this pseudo-pack. Shaggy suede is the first, coating the heel cup of the Air Max 1 while spreading onto both that rear section and the Swoosh on the AM90. Additionally, a keen eye on the base layer of either shoe reveals a rich textile overhaul, still maintaining the grid-like mesh arrangement but swapping it to more premium fabrics for these two colorways. While both would’ve been fitting additions to the Holiday slate, there’s no denying that either one delivers plush looks for the end of the colder months and into Spring 2025.
Both the Nike Air Max 90 and Air Max 1 featured here should be coming about via Nike.com and local retailers in the short term future. Expect a $160 retail price for the AM1 and $130 for the AM90.
