Look at that subtle red coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark…
Nike continues to earn kudos with their limited edition releases, but don’t sleep on the low key drops from the swoosh. The brand has slowly but surely reintroduced a staple of the Air Max series in the form of the mini swoosh to Air Max 1, a throwback to the golden days of the Air Max 1s The Mini Swoosh was first introduced in 1997 and was discarded in the early 2000s after a run of unforgettable releases: The Atmos’ Safari & Viotech models, and Patta’s Chlorophyll amongst others. With a recent renaissance in form of limited edition releases, namely the Air Max 1 ‘Master’, 97/1 Wotherspoon and recent Parra drops, Nike has begun slowly to reintroduce their minimalist branding to the Air Max 1, and in this pack too the recently reissued Nike Air Span II, to great effect.
The Special Edition Air Max 1 & Spann II come constructed with a premium touch of suede, canvas and leather in a black complexion. The accents of red to the branding and sole gift the pairs colourways associated with Jordan Brand’s premium drops of the numerical Jordan series, the ‘Bred’ colourway featuring heavily on a plethora of retro Jordan’s limited edition retros. This is a colourway that finds itself attached to Nike silhouettes sparingly, adding further prestige to this pack.
Both respective models find themselves constructed to their legendary OG standard, with minimal editions of branding providing the necessary twist to this special edition pack.
The Nike Air Max 1 & Air Span II ‘Mini Swoosh’ will be available both in-store and online on the 10th August at 8 am from Aphrodite Clothing. Numbers are limited, so grab your pair while you can.
Rivalling the OFF-WHITE collection in sheer volume, the second drop of Nike’s ‘Just Do It’ pack sees Nike update the Air Max 1 with a statement all over print display.
From its anniversary in 2017 on Air Max Day to this very moment, Nike has been treating the Air Max 1 to the most premium of iterations possible. With the frequency of the quality, it can be hard to choose from the abundance options and that’s why Nike has made sure to treat their collaborations, QS, and SE editions to the best treatment possible exemplified here in the ‘Just Do It’ pack release. The singular all-over print is a rare feature to the Air Max 1, especially in a minimal and tonal colour base, usually finding itself in a varied animal print, camouflage, floral or multicolour design. Following cues from recent geometric all over print designs displayed on the Air Max 98, the all over print JDI branding is a tastefully obnoxious design that brings the monochromatic black and white base to a vibrant path with orange accents across the shoe.
The simplicity and audacity of the slogan lend itself to a simple and audacious aesthetic design, instantly makes the relevant statement for its chosen wearer.
The Nike Air Max 1 ‘JUST DO IT.’ will be available both in-store and online on the 2nd August 8 am from Aphrodite Clothing. Numbers are limited, so grab your pair while you can.
Saving the best till last on their 30th anniversary ‘Just Do It’ collection Nike has added their legendary slogan to a smattering of silhouettes highlighted here in the Just Do it colourway of the 2018 flagship Air Max 270.
Following where the EXP-X14 lead in the initial JDI drop, the Air Max 270 incorporates the most minimal branding of the second edition pack, reserving it’s extroverted displays to that of total orange accents on swoosh branding and it’s eye-catching air unit. The lifestyle model has been a sneaky hit for brand amongst big collaboration releases in 2018, the boldly bubbled and bootied sneaker has seen itself kept to purely inline releases and themed packs, save an Air Max Day offering in collaboration with HQ Trivia that was awarded to runners-up of the live trivia apps Nike sponsored event. Although there’s still time for an OFF-WHITE X Nike 270 to come through the year, the orange accents to this edition answer some questions on what an eventual collab could look like. Sneaker customs take note!
The composition of the shoe follows a minimal make-up, excluding the printed JDI branding from the composition, reserving it to the pull tab of the shoe, in favour of the JDI colour scheme. The pair arrive in a white with accents of total orange in the mini swoosh as well as branding and make the sparsity of this design as effective as possible. For sneakerheads, it’s an unmistakable and low-key homage to the 30th anniversary of ‘Just Do It’, for anyone in the market for a new pair of kicks, start here with a pair of Nike’s premier lifestyle design.
The Nike Air Max 270 ‘JUST DO IT.’ will be available both in-store and online on the 2nd August 8 am from Aphrodite Clothing. Numbers are limited, so grab your pair while you can.
The sneaker game has changed, weekly releases from every brand have forced sneakerheads to check daily for the next cop. There are always special drops you might have missed so don’t worry, we’re recounting our favourite releases of the summer!
adidas Sobakov – White / Gum /// Black / Gum
Following up adidas’ recent readoption of the terrace look, the Sobakov take the Gazelle and Samba stylings of the casual heyday and places them on to a highly desirable asymmetrical silhouette. The football pedigree is on full display with its 3 stripe design lifted straight from the recently reissued Predator Precision series. The similarities to the recently release Kamanda are rife, but the Sobakov holds it’s own as highly desirable design.
Celebrating two nations dear to the Raf Simmons heart finds the ostentatious Ozweego adorned in the USA Red, White and Blue and Belgian Black, Yellow and Red respectively all in the aid of independence and national identity. With both releases coinciding with each nation’s independence day, using the audacious silhouette of the Ozweego as a conduit to individuality and identity, a theme that rang true with each nation’s respective revolutionary movement. Raf, as ever, manages to feature all of this in the luxurious Ozweego design
Y-3 Harigane Sneakers, Kusari & Saikou
A collaboration that predates Off White X Nike in hype and design, the Y-3 collection from master tailor Yohji Yamamoto and adidas hits its 15th anniversary, and there are no signs of let up especially with the footwear choices on offer. With the minimal offerings of the Kursari in monochromatic (and token Yohji) White & Black, alongside the returning Saikou silhouette, all featuring subtle additions of boost technology. The highlight of the drop is the Harigane trail sneaker, championing deconstruction and offering a unique redesign of the adidas NMD with its segmented sole unit.
Nike Air Max 98 & 270
A newly created and newly reissued double bill of Air Max from Nike in the form of the Air Max 270 and Air Max 98. Both championing revolutionary air units; it’s the first edition of each colourway for the respective silhouettes. The 270 lands in an eye-catching and intrinsic triple black Air Max 270 colourway, complementing the audacious air unit with a subtle colouring. On the other spectrum, the total crimson makeover of the Air Max 98 is a spectacular rendition of the vibrant and chunky Air Max styling. Two distinct looks but equally irresistible.
The techwear ghost turned pioneer of revolutionary clothing fabrication is the trendsetter you need to know about, and if he’s lending his name to it you can guarantee it’s going to make waves in the fashion world. Here’s a brief history on the heir to Massimo Osti’s throne
To sell a hard-shell jacket for over $1,000, you just have to make a hard-shell jacket that’s worth over $1,000
Kickstarting a clothing revolution in 1994, Hugh and partner Michaela Sachenbacher birthed an independent design and consulting agency dubbed ACRONYM®. Cutting their teeth as guns for hire in the technical apparel world, their work with snowboarding outfitters Burton allowing them space, time and finances to cut their teeth.
Burton was great because they were so irreverent. Snowboarding’s inherently technical. You need the protection, you need the performance for the activity, but it’s got such a punk rock spirit to it. There was never an idea that was too crazy.
Spending a lot of time in Munich providing freelance work for companies allowed the duo to generate a stubborn determination to create the foundations of their techwear revolution.
Why don’t we have this in our everyday clothes? We proposed that idea to everyone we were working with, because we obviously didn’t have any money. All of them said, “No thanks. You’re crazy.” So we figured we’d just do it ourselves.
With that, the agency made the decision to begin the plans for their first ACRONYM product, taking two years to come to fruition and eventually releasing in 2002 ACRONYM’s first collection, dubbed Kit-1 consisted of a jacket, a bag, a soundtrack, software, catalogues featuring concept art, and a few other small items that went above and beyond the usual brand roll out we’re now used to. Their first full collection, released in Fall 2003, was carried by tastemakers like Colette in Paris cementing the brand within a year of its real inception. Until 2009, Errolson and Michaela were the company’s only employees.
I’m the visible part, but Michaela is equally strong as far as aesthetics, and ACRONYM definitely wouldn’t look the same if she wasn’t co-owner
ACRONYM’s collections never have more than 15 pieces, an indication of the painstaking detail that goes into each design.
The whole point of ACRONYM when we started was, “let’s try and establish a way of doing things where we don’t have to compromise on the product.”
As much as the experience of working on a curated product for brands formulated the eventual ACRONYM we know today, the influence came from humbler beginnings.
a major influence in that was karate. It fascinated me because I could do all these movements that I couldn’t do in my regular clothes. It was the first time I understood the results of pattern-making. That triggered a lifelong quest for pants that you could kick people in the head with – another seminal thing for ACRONYM
Martial arts fosters self-reliance, and you learn to trust your own judgment. You realize, in a very real, physical way, that you can do more than you think you can. The whole mind over matter thing, mastering situations, all of that has real-world application, particularly if you’re an entrepreneur or you’re in a super competitive industry, like fashion
Nike / ACG
You know we’re not just going to give these shoes a different color right?
After collaborating with an extensive mix of clients that include Tilak, KHS Tactical, Arc’Teryx, Burton Snowboards, iDiom, Analog USA, GORE-TEX®, Bagjack, Massimo Osti, Herno Laminar, Stone Island, United Arrows Japan and Disaeran, American sports giants Nike tasked Hugh with the revitalisation of their heralded ACG line, using the mastermind’s extensive experience to live up to the ‘All Conditions Gear’ name. Alongside annual collaborations between ACRONYM and Nike, the seasonal drop of ACG allowed Nike to bolster their catalog with a proven air, bringing their retro ACG lines back to the forefront and allowing the reissue of the heralded styles with a renewed vigor and pedigree.Having worked on a multitude of different Nike’s now, 2015’s Lunar Force 1, 2016s Presto Utility, 2017’s AF1 Downtown & Lunar Force 1 anniversary release up to 2018’s recent Air Max day drop of the Vapormax moc that stands as the last collab whilst Hugh remains as creative director, his contract with Nike and ACG running out after next season.
I know a lot of people are expecting us to add zippers and buckles and bolt on some parts, but we actually put those things on to change the function of the shoe. But you can already just slip on the VaporMax, so there was no reason to do that.
With the collaboration came the crowning moment in a 20 plus year career for Hugh, a chance to put his name on the map and fund future projects for his ACRONYM brand.
Working with Nike means that you’re really working with pop culture. It’s not just a product or a collection. It’s so ingrained into so many people’s histories.
STONE ISLAND SHADOW PROJECT
When Paul Harvey retired from his job as creative director at Stone Island, the brand approached Errolson to be a part of the resurgent team, a partnership that gave birth to Stone Island Shadow Project. A hiring of Errolson to revitalise the ACG was a crowning achievement, the appointment of the ACRONYM team to the historically revolutionary creative team at SI allowed a marriage of technical ability and future thinking fashion. Having direct, hands-on experience in the development and integration of every conceivable technical fabric being used today meant that Hugh’s experience and forward-thinking ideas could provide a renaissance for the brand with its mix of masterful longtime employees and new concepts.
At Stone Island there are people who have been building fabrics every single day for decades – people who have been fitting or cutting clothes for their entire lives. You better believe it that we pay attention when they take the time to work with us on a jacket! One of the best things about this industry is that there is always something new to learn. Or, better yet, something OLD to learn.
With the pedigree of his own brand blazing a trail in the technical work just as Massimo Osti had conquered in his early years at Stone Island, it made the decision to hire Hugh as a creative director an obvious choice for the brand. revolutionary ideas such as ACRONYM Analog MD Clone Jacket was one of TIME magazine’s ‘Coolest Inventions of 2002,’ while the ACRONYM GT-J5A jacket sparked it’s own imitators, with Gucci adopting a similar design for a catwalk show in the early part of the decade. This is the kind of attention that made Errolson’s hiring an inevitability rather than a formality.
That’s the only collection we’ve ever worked on where you get to design not only the pieces but also the fabric of those pieces in the collection. They’re so up for trying different things, difficult things, and stuff no one else would even attempt. They’re like, ‘Yeah, let’s add these three processes on top of it and see what happens.’ And you just don’t get that anywhere else.
With ten years under his belt as head of the Shadow Project department, the anticipation for an anniversary collection hit fever pitch at the turn of the year. Considering the fan fair that was generated for the 30th-anniversary collection by Stone Island, you can only expect a similar if not further heralded reaction to a 10th-anniversary collection considering Stone Islands current place as the trendsetting technical wear brand. With this anniversary drop and 21st collection, 6919 as it’s dubbed serves as an ode to the progressive Stone Island division.
Hugh and team created a new set of innovative flank and drop pockets to promote quick storage and retrieval and further similar ideas that had manifested in previous collections. Additionally, fabric research for the special range comes in the form of the Scarebeo textile which is a conspicuously reflective iridescent material inspired by the exterior of beetles, instantly recognisable as a Stone Island fabric yet somehow revolutionary and unique to this collection. The ever-popular Stealth jacket serves as the standout piece of the collection, reworked with the iridescent textile and comes complete with an array of hidden pockets and special 10-year commemorative branding. Parseq system stands core to the Shadow Project as ever, separating the garments into their own category.
The current iteration aims to refine the concepts of utility, nuance, and experimentation that has always existed at the core of this capsule.
OTHER
Outside of real-life fashion consultation, the Acronym team has been drafted to aid in clothing design for games, manifesting in a marriage of techwear and sci-fi that influenced Errolson’s own approach to his designs.
The relation between science fiction and technological development, and how that affects society, is deeply related to ACRONYM’s aesthetic.
Tasked with designing a real-life functioning techwear trench coat, the Acronym team created the model to be scanned into the digital world, its design echoing principles and creations that can be traced to Errolson’s work with Stone Island.
Eidos, the company that develops Deus Ex, approached us and they flew us out to their Montreal studios and showed us the game development. They explained the character, the situation, what he was doing. We then designed a coat for him as if he was a real person. We basically did the same thing we always do, which was actually built a real-life jacket. We made two prototypes, and the second one was the one that they chose. We actually drafted the patterns like it’s a real coat.
Even Errolson’s relationship with Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has left people guessing as to what ties the eccentric creatives might have with one another. Whether it’s business or recreation, the can’t deny the similar aesthetics to the Japanese gaming franchise and Errolson’s own designs, as well as Kojima’s own creation ‘Death Stranding’.
proposition that everyone is already a cyborg; contact lenses, a phone that’s basically external memory. Things you carry around on a day-to-day basis augment you in ways that a few decades ago were science fiction. You don’t have to graft a device onto your skeletal system to be a cyborg. Everybody is already a cybernetic organism because of how intimately electronics are implemented into our life.
Keep your eyes peeled on our blog for more news on Errolson Hugh and his work on the Shadow Project brand in anticipation of their 10th-anniversary release.
For those who aren’t aware of you or your work, explain the world of ‘Kish Kash’
Great question and I’m not too sure how to answer it… It’s a bit of everything! Brand Consultancy, presenter of The All City Show on Soho Radio, Author, Journalist, Food Fan, an avid collector of sneakers, hard to narrow it down really! I guess you could say a ‘culture connoisseur’ of sorts.
I spend a lot of time seeking out the next generation of designers and artists, putting them in touch with the right contacts to get their work recognized and making sure no one is overlooked, talent is talent but it needs the pedestal to be noticed and I look to provide that.
Working with brands you’ll see your fair share of start-up clothing and footwear brands coming through, who’s the best up and coming brand and why should we be paying attention to them?
Labrum, the guys over there are doing something really, really cool. A friend of mine has recently started up a clothing brand named Gulps, very political and really essential for our time. WGSNYC, bespoke made streetwear with a real edge to it. All really making waves and on the cusp of something big, making big statements and wearing their influences on their sleeves.
As an older head in the world of music and fashion, particularly hip/hop and streetwear, has modern day hip/hop had a bigger influence on streetwear and street culture than it’s initial ‘heyday’ from ’88 – 00′
I think that both do. I think the new is influenced by the old, the classic cycle of inspiration and that goes from fashion to music. Someone like Kanye West is massively influenced by the 80s-90s, he’s a guy who grew up in Chicago idolizing (Michael) Jordan and that really influenced his style and love of streetwear through Jordan sneakers, plus his preppy street style and the boom of Tommy Hilfiger and Polo Ralph Lauren in the 90s. I think that stuff like Instagram allows us to have this new generation on the biggest stage for fashion, but the influence to their forefathers can’t be denied, and that evens it out in my eyes.
Staying on the topic of influences, we’ve seen sportswear take over the fashion world, which sport do you think is most important to fashion?
It has to be basketball still, especially considering it’s street heritage. It’s harder to walk down the street in a pair of footy boots than a pair of Jordans, but football is in it’s biggest fashion spotlight in its history.
We’re seeing a renaissance in 90s New York style, brands like Aime Leon Dore are using NY heritage to create something new, as well as brands like Clarks are seeing their styles have a new lease of life with new fans, even sell out releases like the Ralph Lauren Snow Beach collection. Which city is next to take the mantle in fashions eye?
London! Absolutely no question, it’s such a cultural melting pot that I think with the strength of up and coming brands and already established brands like Labrum, A Cold Wall, Nicholas Daley amongst many many more, London will have it’s time in the fashion eye again.
As a Londoner, what would you class as the quintessential London style?
It’s a mixture, similar to how New York style is influenced by heritage being brought to the city. London is such an eclectic city and the style reflects that with it’s reclassified, repurposed style brought from multiple continents. It’s a mix!
It would be rude not to ask this, what’s been the best sneaker release of the year and why?
Oh god… I’d have to say the adidas 4D Futurecraft. It’s heavier than what you’d expect but we’re looking at one aspect of the future in 3d printing. It truly is revolutionary and the most interesting original idea so far this year. There’s a lot of stuff that’s come out, but it gets soulless as it is almost daily there’s a new drop, re-release etc. You’ve got something like the Span II and that doesn’t get any attention from the kids, and that’s just disappointing. There are a lot of kids just jumping on things because they’ve seen celebs wear it, this stuff is artwork it can take time to age and be defined and yet things do unnecessarily flop. Recent sneaker releases don’t have the same weight to them as ‘back in the day’ you can work out hype to a show months in advance by who ‘likes’ this or that, it’s not like the old days with your Air Force 1 or Air Max series, they took time to be adopted by the sneaker community, it was organic.
Similarly, what’s been the best Re-Release in clothes or sneakers this year?
(After a brief glance through his Instagram @kishkash1…) The BEST sneaker re-release of the year was the Mizuno Wave-Rider. I had my ear to the ground on this one and knew something was in the works I never gave that shoe the time of day back in 98, but it’s the right place right time for this to come back.
What’s been the most slept on release of the year?
Oh definitely the Spann II.
Finally, Is Football coming home?
Football has always been home!
You can find Kish on Instagram as kishkash1, The All City Show on Soho Radio and any late night ramen eatery.
Other than high octane singles matches, players breaking rackets and crowds causing them and the thousands of strawberries and cream sold to punters there’s one singular thing you can rely on. Style. From its rebirth in the open era, and even a selection of champions prior, there have been a plethora of notable style moments highlighted by the staple Wimbledon white wardrobe, so here are our top picks!
René Lacoste
The father of the Alligator, René Lacoste was more than just a brand founder. An avid inventor (with a number of patents for inventions from fashion to golf to tennis) Lacoste was responsible for the initial creation of the polo shirt, revolutionising tennis forever. Winning Wimbledon in 1925 and 1928, he did it in his own preppy style as seen below, usually in his own stylish creations. As the Lacoste legacy lives on we still see René’s signature crocodile stamped on the brand with their staple style polos and sport influenced apparel.
Fred Perry
A multi-time champion, the last British winner before Andy Murray’s ascension, creator of the laurel wreath and universally stylish individual. Fred Perry accomplished a lot in his time as a tennis pro and managed to surpass that legacy with the creation of the Fred Perry clothing brand. Seen below in his sweater vest and chinos, it’s a style that sees itself in the spotlight again and again. Introducing his initial creation, the Fred Perry Laurel Wreath polo in 1952 (the logo borrowed from Wimbledon) Fred Perry created a sporting legacy on top of his prior accomplishments and birthed a plethora of subcultural movements. Still outfitting sportsmen and women amongst others, their collections are still made to the stylish standard of their creator.
Rod Laver
One of the original stars of adidas tennis and one of the initial adopters of a signature adidas shoe, Laver was no nonsense on the court reflecting in his clean-cut style. Draped in all white Fred Perry, it was the premium apparel that represented his premium game granting him one of the initial signature adidas tennis styles of the decade. With the introduction and reissue of more adidas tennis styles, most recently the Continental 80 amongst others, it won’t be long till more Rod Lavers.
Stan Smith
Instantly recognisable in this modern day as the endorsee of adidas’s signature tennis style, Stan Smith carved a history as a winner and a stylish one at that with his signature slick back and stache. The adidas stan smith still retains dominance to this day and age with its collaborations, the most high profile being the Raf Simons collection that it has become a staple of. Don’t forget about his skate history either, revolutionary.
Arthur Ashe
Making history is all the better when you look as good as Arthur Ashe. Becoming the first black grand slam champion in tennis history, Ashe decided to rile up compatriot Jimmy Connors with his Davis Cup issued USA jacket, one that Connors would have had if he’d accepted the invitation to represent his country in the country vs country tournament (and that he was labelled ‘unpatriotic’ for). Ashe’s style provided a benchmark for future designs from a number of American brands, namely the style of Polo Ralph Lauren who took lend of the sporting red, white and blue.
Bjorn Borg
The Legendary Swede, a man who rattled off an undefeated 4 years at Wimbledon, rocking the best in pinstriped and checked polos by the way of Fila and becoming the king of track jackets too. He might be most famous style wise for his signature Diadora shoe, and his fashion line as Bjorn Borg, but his quintessentially 70s style is an inspiration for us all, and brands such as Aquascutum with their mix of sport and vintage style.
John Mcenroe
The man who knocked Bjorn Borg off his mount, and took his place as tennis’ style king. Mcenroe’s effortless style was on display through his full career, his minimal colour blocking via Sergio Tacchini offering a fitting uniform for his first championship. The segmented blocking finds itself commonplace with heralded brands nower days, especially favourites like AMI
Pete Sampras & Andre Agassi
Nike’s signature athletes and both Wimbledon champions across the 90s, the pairing of Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi meant in the final of the 99 Wimbledon, showing the best in 90s style. Sampras decked in the classic white polo, lateral stripes included. Although he might have lost in this instance, Agassi takes the trophy for style with his earring and necklace combo, plus a lethal quarter zip polo. Agassi has had some moments in style with his signature Nikes and fake mullet and meth period, eclectic guy.
Roger Federer
Skipping most of this century so far wasn’t hard, to be honest. Tennis style just isn’t the same anymore, or revolutionary. Nike, late to the game with tennis and adopters of the all whites in the 90s, took the model of the signature sporting athlete from their work with Michael Jordan, using the same model for their (till recently) deal with all-time great Roger Federer. To celebrate his record-equalling 7th Wimbledon title, Nike decked their flagship tennis star with a retro-inspired quarter zip jumper and attire, ushering in a retro-inspired phase for the swoosh.
A juxtaposition of pattern clashing camouflages will have you standing out from the crowd.
Following up on the release of the AOP Air Max 98 pack, it’s only right that Nike offers a full clashing camo collection of clobber to compliment the recent drop. Offering two looks in form of shorts and tee shirt combo, displaying the Swoosh branding across the front and rear, and a particular pack highlight in the form of a half zip windbreaker and printed bottom combo, providing a selection of versatile choices for any camo fan.
After the success of Nike and Kith’s flight pack drop at the late end of last year, articularly the inclusion of the boldly branded half-zip windbreakers, it’s no surprise that the Oregon giants have followed up their on-trend packable jacket. With a symmetrical display of patterns across the front and back, the AOP half zip presents two variations on a military spec tiger camo, offering the swoosh in a dazzling black and white geometric camouflage.
Complimenting the jacket perfectly comes the Printed Trouser bottoms, scrimping on the desert camo and going all in on its woodland tiger camouflage, the rear display of the swoosh branding presented in matching black and white, perfect for a quiet trip to the shops or incognito lunch ventures for the shy and retiring amongst us.
For those of us that want to soak up the rays in more forgiving fashion, accompanying combo to the pack in the form of the Shorts and Tee Shirt takes a ‘basic’ approach to the pack, displaying a block white branded swoosh, along with white Nike branding on the breast with a base woodland tiger camo. It’s business on the front and party at the back for the shorts, taking a two-tone variation to each leg on the front, and reserving the geometric branding to the rear of the shorts.
This pack is essential for fashion heads old and new, combining the sensibilities of old-school streetwear and the bold, challenging aesthetic of high fashion to great effect.
Nike have been on a roll lately with their choice of colourways for the iconic Air Max 98, from the OG ‘Gundam’ makeup to the luxurious ‘Exotic Skins’ edition. Now Nike breaks out a version that utilises a combination of moody grey tones with searing hits of Total Crimson to create the strong contrast that is this silhouette’s forté.
The seismic wave design of the uppers is complemented perfectly with the full-length Max Air sole unit, giving the perfect blend of head-turning good looks and an all-day comfortable ride. Plus, as recently demonstrated by celebrities such as Kendrick Lamar, the Air Max 98 is incredibly versatile, equally at home with sports-inspired streetwear as it is with more dressed-up luxury garms: what more could you ask of a sneaker?
The Nike Air Max 98 in Wolf Grey / Total Crimson will be available both in-store and online on the 22nd of June from Aphrodite Clothing. Numbers are limited, so grab your pair while you can.
