ÿþBut we re now in the final nike mens shoes month of the year and I m kind of confused. What releases did Nike really give us of the Air Max 90 aside from the seasonal colorways that they give us every year? The only colorways that truly stand out to me are the Cork, OG Infrared and Velvet. That s it.There was not one single collaboration done with the Air Max 90 in 2015. Remember when Nike teamed up with Atmos in 2013 to release two of the all-time best colorways of the Air Max 90? Or what about when did they did it again last year with the release of the Bleached Denim colorway? Those two collaborations are two of the greatest Air Max 90s ever created and the crazy thing is that they weren t created to commemorate or celebrate any special milestone or anniversary.
Atmos and Nike collaborated just for the hell of it and created instant classics. So why couldn t something similar be done this year for the nike air max thea womens 25th anniversary?So why is that? Is it because they couldn t find any brands/partners/boutiques to collaborate with? Nah it can t be that. I m sure Nike has hundreds of people constantly knocking on their door begging to collaborate with them. Maybe because the Air Max 90 isn t that popular? Nope. The Air Max 90 is one of Nike s most loved and classic silhouettes that continues to sell in pretty much every colorway that s released. Maybe the reasoning behind their disappointing 25th anniversary releases is the fact that Nike feels that they don t have to try as hard anymore.
It remains to be seen if this is nothing more than a symbolic move and the new Kobe in 2017 will be called the Nike Kobe 13 or AD 2, but one thing that was clear from the reveal was that this was a different Mamba we were dealing with it. A part of me wants Kobe Bryant to remain that hyper-competitive, sometimes petty, always sardonic jerk that captivated us for 20 years. But that character seems to be dead and lost to the sands (smog?) of Los Angeles. RIP, Black Mamba, even though you ain t actually dead&
If you ve seen the word Ultra pop up in a little for your favorite Nike kicks this year, like the equally underrated Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit or the Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit, nike roshe run sale it s there for good reason. Using the latest in tech, the Ultra bottoms have turned what were once bulky monstrosities (this obviously doesn t apply to the already light Prestos) that could be used to curb stomp somebody have turned into feathery light outsoles. It feels like somebody cut out the guts of the AF1 s midsoles and hollowed it out to remove all the weight. But it s not hollowed out, of course. It takes cues from the Nike Roshe One, a shoe I just got done mentioning nike roshe run black was worthless in the sneaker culture in 2016 .
