Launched back in 2018, the Nike Air Max 270 was surely not expected to stick around this long. In fact, after the Air Max 720 overshadowed it a year later, many thought the taller-Air’d trainer would be the brand’s long game. As it turned out, the market much preferred the 270, and Nike has not looked back. The silhouette snuck back onto shelves through 2020 and has since been a frequent player in the Swoosh’s lifestyle offerings. Now there’s another new colorway on the way, this one pairing steely blue hues with calming French blue
Uppers of steel silver reach from toe to tail, with is glaze overlays, heel wraps, lacestays, laces, and liners all following suit. Branding nt he pair is split between French Blue and black, the former providing the bold strokes at the Swoosh, heel pull, and rear AIR lettering. Striking white midsoles rest atop a black rubber tread underfoot, and join a bold blue Air unit in the back to complete the design.
A release date for this new Nike Air Max 270 “Steel Blue” has not yet been identified, but we expect these to be part of Nike’s late-Spring lineup. As always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates. Until then, enjoy a detailed look at the pair here below.
