Revived 90s Teal Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike Shines a Spotlight on the Air Metal Max Sneaker Model

— March 10, 2020 — Fashion
As the warmer season approaches us, Nike decides to introduce one of its signature sneaker models from its archives -- tapping the 90s, the Air Metal Max makes a return. The sneaker has not received as much attention as other Air Max models.

The update arrives in a bright colorway that is rooted in both white and turquoise throughout the design. It boasts a wavy design that is similar to the classic Air Max plus show, capturing attention right towards the uppers. All of this sits on top of a Max Air unit foundation. Branding details can be seen throughout the model, in the form of a small Swoosh on the side, an Air Max patch on the tongue, and at the heel tab.
