Although Nike Air Max technology is no longer exclusive to runners, the cushioning remains synonymous with its titular line of trainers. From Tinker Hatfield’s iconic Air Max 1 in 1987, the annual series has grown in shape and stature — as too has the size of the Air units used. For this year’s model, we’re getting something bolder again, with the new Nike Air Max 2021 donning a hollowed-out rear cage and bulbous Air support in the rear — and that’s not the least of it!
It’s breathable, the mixed-material upper hosts differing weaves, textures, and tack-stitch overlays, while its vamp and tongue feature a hot mess of loose overlays and utilitarian pulls. The next pair to appear — here in a Seahawks-friendly Obsidian and Lime Glow — aims to juxtapose the design with simplicity by toning down the audacious design with mostly tonal blue hues.
