Nike Adds a New Air Max Pulse to its Have a Nike Day Series

— July 23, 2023 — Fashion
Nike introduces a new iteration of the Air Max Pulse sneaker model to its ongoing Have a Nike Day collection. The capsule made its first appearance during March of 2019 along with the annual Air Max Month celebration. The capsule is made up of signature silhouettes such as the Air Force 1 and the Air Max 97.

The latest version is detailed with the custom smiley face motif from the pack's design language that is seen on the right insole and tongue. The upper is made from mesh materials for a breathable feel and then detailed with Metallic Silver tones in synthetic leather by the mudguard. As another pop of contrast, Vibrant Green and orange make up the colorful laces. It all sits on top of a black-speckled heel counter with a blue semi-clear Air Max unit.
