The 2024 Paris Olympics is now less than a month away and we think the best way to celebrate this global sporting event, is to well, cop yourself a pair of Olympic-inspired Air Max 90s. And yes, we know that Nike has been whipping up a generous selection of sneakers that nod to this special time in sports history, however, it is this rendition that we think you’ll love the most.
Clean and understated, the Nike Air Max 90 ‘Olympics’ lands in a complementary mix of whites, beiges and a navy blue palette, while pops of gold embellish the sidewall Swoosh for that extra touch of celebratory spirit. Airy inserts of mesh add a breathable and functional component to the toe box and lateral ankle, while the layered upper sits on an air-induced outsole for extra cushioned goodness with every stride.
