Translucent Uppers Arrive on the “Frosted Spruce” Air Max 270 React

Wave runners.

Nike’s wavy new 90s-inspired Air Max 270 React has yet to release, but it’s already causing a stir amongst sneakerheads on social. Its on-trend 90s design is riding the wave of heavily-overlayed runners, but it does so without the chunk by using modernized materials on the upper, like the use of translucent on this new-to-surface mens-exclusive.

Sitting above its two-piece React/Air Max 270 sole unit, this “Frosted Spruce” Air Max 270 React features translucent TPU underlays at the toe box and midfoot, which is then overlayed by flowing abstract panels in green, blue, and barely volt— shapes that are not too dissimilar from those spotted on Kanye’s OG Wave Runner. The same trio of hues hit the laces, tongues, lacestay overlay and outsole, with the only fresh addition to the palette arriving on the midsole, which is tinted in barely-there mint green.

Lads can expect this Frosted Spruce Air Max 270 React to touch down at select Swoosh stockists and Nike.comvery soon for $150 USD — likely to release alongside the ladies-exclusive translucent pair on July 19th, but that is still TBA at this stage. Until then, grab a detailed look at the pair below, and keep your eyes locked on our Nike Release Dates page for updates to retailers stocking the drop!
