Kaws definitely has the magic touch these days. Fresh off of his Nike Air Force 1´s “1World” success, it seems he is already working on yet another collaboration with Nike, this time a very clean colorway of the Nike Air Max 90. Coming in a white and volt colorway, these Nike Air Maxes would be a little on the unremarkable side were it not for the signature Kaws X’s being the dominating theme of these shoes. Especially noticeable on the toebox stitching, the X motif is definitely pretty strong on these kicks, even appearing on the lacelocks. There’s no word on a firm release yet, especially due to the fact that these are currently still in sample form; however, should they see release, expect popularity compared to everything else that Kaws graces with his artistic vision.

The Nike Air Max 90 has had some pretty wild colorways in the past; this new medium grey colorway is basically anything but. In what is essentially an all-grey design, these shoes are basically monotone. Somewhat resembling the try-on shoes at Nike iD Studios, these kicks use ballistic nylon on the toebox, with nubuck making up much of the rest of the upper. A leather swoosh and rubberized mudguard round out the features list. There’s nothing really that hasn’t been seen before here, but the colorway alone is a reason to love these, as it’s basically the epitome of clean and simple. You can’t really go wrong with a single neutral color for a colorway, and these Air Max 90’s hardly disappoint in that regard. These are promo samples and the official version should drop at the beginning of november!

Nike has created a package for influencers which consists of a Flywire Windrunner, NSW t-shirt, holdall bag and the new Nike Air Max 90 Current “Flywire”. Of course the most interesting part of the package is the Nike Air Max 90 Current “Flywire” which utilizes the revolutionary Flywires to create an Nike Air Max 90 that lowers the amount of material for the upper to a bare minimum. On the tongue tag read “running so fast you feel like your flying” in Chinese. No word on availability of this package outside of Asia or even to the general public.
