Boldly Designed Zipped Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike Breathes Life Back to its Air Max Sunder Sneaker

— June 25, 2024 — Fashion
Nike has recently been dropping teasers of the Air Max Sunder's return -- the sneaker model was seen three years ago as a part of the Comme des Garçons collaboration. Now, it is confirmed that the re-launch is happening and it will be weatherized. The GORE-TEX iteration is a sturdy update of the retro-tinged silhouette and zipper on the top.

These were first seen in a video by FDfromthefuture, a London-based content creator. The shoes are reimaged with a bold patterning overlaying the upper on both sides of the shoe. It features blue tones and a gridded detail that compliments the gradient tone that decorates the upper -- it blends from a bright pink tone into a darker purple.
