Italian retail imprint One Block Down works in collaboration with Nike to introduce a new collection of sneakers that are inspired by the original 1998 Nike TNs. There are three sneakers featured in the collection and joining the footwear is a large capsule of apparel and accessories that are designed to match the shoes.
The capsule features 24 pieces and it is full of versatile ways to style the silhouette. The three designs are essentially reinterpreted variations of the original colorways of the Nike Air Max Plus that first launched in 1998. The gradient hues are inverted to create the Reversed colorway palette. The capsule is close to owning the original shoes as it also comes in the same box -- also reversed hues
