The Nike Air 180’s revival has been met with mixed reception. Still, Nike remains committed to the silhouette, delivering both OG retros and creative new takes, including in the Doernbecher 20th Anniversary Collection. While it hasn’t sparked widespread excitement just yet, the model’s ongoing releases, particularly for longtime fans, showcase Nike’s dedication to its 1991 icon.
The latest iteration, "Light Orewood Brown," leans into a naturalistic aesthetic with a harmonious blend of tan, brown, black, and orange tones. The earthy palette almost brushes against Nike ACG’s rugged, outdoor-ready vibes, but the execution remains clean and versatile. The dark sole unit adds a sharp light/dark contrast, ensuring visual balance and making the colorway feel fresh yet familiar. If this signals Nike’s direction for the Air Max 180 in 2025, it indicates the brand’s willingness to explore new creative avenues for the classic silhouette.
While specific release details and pricing remain under wraps, the appearance of official images suggests a Spring 2025 launch.
