Another Air Max 90 “Exeter Edition” Appears!
Nike’s well-documented focus on sustainability has lead to an abundance of eco-friendly footwear options over the past 12 months, most of which are instantly recognizable by a handful of shared characteristics. Most famously of the lot is Nike’s color-flecked grind rubber sole units which have featured prominently on a slew of Nike classics, including the recent series dubbed the “Exeter Edition” — a collection inspired by Swoosh employee Jeff Johnson’s 1974 trip to New Hampshire that sprouted the brand’s first recycled shoes. Now after appearing in an Air Max 90 and a VaporMax 3, the series returns to the former with a second 90’s-inspired colorway in as many days.
Though not as colorful as the aforementioned accompanying release, this still boasts an aesthetic aligned with the early-90s era. Contrast volt and hot pink stitching and midsole fleck tie the pair back to its birth year, with blacks, whites, and pastels allowing the bold accents to pop. It’s most noticeable at the Air supports and outsole, the latter completed by the Swoosh’s recycled Grind Rubber to complete the design.
