Blending design aesthetics from past and present, the Nike Air Max Pre-Day looks to retro runners from the late 1970s for inspiration, and is overhauled for an out-of-this-world appeal. First revealed in sample form back in late May 2020, the Nike Air Max Pre-Day “Be True” was our very first glimpse of the new-to-line silhouette — one which has since released to a warm reception. Though its debut colorways have remained quite reserved, the Pride-celebrating release is anything but.
Differing slightly from the first sample, the retail release is revealed with bold turquoise uppers of mesh, suede, and nylon. the hue also white the Air cassette and outsole but welcomes a brief break via a pure white midsole in between. The pair’s championing feature is its metallic rainbow gradient Swoosh at the midfoot — but special attention should also be paid to the Velcro heel and accompanying patch set — a finish that is seemingly applied to the entire 2021 Be True collection. Here, flags for genders and sexualities are able to be swapped in and out at the wearer’s discretion, to either celebrate oneself, their family, friends, or the entire movement as a whole. The famed rainbow LGBTQ+ flag is seen at the tongue and replicated at the gradient insoles and special-edition boxing to complete the design.
