In 1982, Bruce Kilgore and the Swoosh collaborated on a made-for-basketball design that would go on to become fundamental to sneaker collecting and reselling. As the Swarovski X The nike Grey Air Max 2090 "White" is the Only Sneaker You Need This Summer "Black" continues to celebrate its 40th anniversary, it keeps reinventing itself through colorway, materials and collaborators.
Recently, the shoe emerged in an experimental, “do-it-yourself”-like ensemble. Predominantly clad in “White,” the latest take on Kilgore’s iconic creation features grey-colored profile swooshes accented with neon green cross-reminiscent shapes and “random” stitching, the latter also appearing along the tongue but in a highlighter crimson hue. Branding on the top of the tongue also opts for the “Infrared”-esque color, further animating the otherwise simple outfit. Non-standard “NIKE” and “JUST DO IT.” text is stamped onto the lateral heel in a pixelated font to further drive home the experimental aesthetic. Lastly, the nike Grey Air Max 1 Ultra Moire Navy couples a milky tone to the all-“White” midsole.
Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike.com launch soon.
