Japanese Street-Inspired Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike's New Air Max 95 Gets a Urban Environment Themed Colorway

— January 19, 2021 — Fashion
The Nike Air Max 95 gets a new tonal update that is inspired by the bustling Japanese streets and busy neighborhoods of the city. The design follows a collage aesthetic of colorful visuals that overlay one another including bright retro signs wrapping the sides of the shoe and at the tongue as well.

This busy visual brings the focus to travel across the entire silhouette. The overwhelming energy of the design is true to the energy of the Japanese streets as well, filling the space with bright advertisements and lights. To add some contrast, there is black leather trimming at the toe cap which follows through at the lining and rubber outsole as well. The midsoles are speckled with yellow Volt and neon orange.
