Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike Unveils the Smooth Air Max 90 Futura 'Neapolitan' Model

— August 17, 2022 — Fashion
Sportswear giant Nike has announced that it will be giving its Air Max 90 Futura the 'Neapolitan' makeover, which has previously been showcased on iconic silhouettes such as the Air Force 1 Low and the Air Jordan 3.

Here, the classic 'Neapolitan' makeup, which consists of brown and cream-colored hues, has been draped over the robust Air Max 90 Futura model, lending the sneaker a soothing dessert-like aesthetic. In addition to off-whites and browns, the sneaker comes dressed with a subtle dusty pink color, which serves to accent its quarter panels and provides contrast against the rest of the shoe's construction.

Currently, the Air Max 90 Futura 'Neapolitan' has yet to receive an official release date, though sneakerheads can expect to see it hit store shelves sometime in the coming weeks.
