Despite its heavy focus on futuristic designs, Nike has not forgotten the importance of its history — especially to its bottom line. Through all of its exceptional advancements, their back-catalog still serves up a significant chunk of their revenue, with retro runners making up a sizeable portion of that. Aside from the mainline Air Max releases, Nike has a penchant for reintroducing select silhouettes on an annual basis — and for 2021, it appears that the Nike Air Structure Triax 91 will be one of those select few — all the more fitting considering it will be celebrating its 30th anniversary year.
Following on from the just-previewed Persian Violet-inspired take is this new Navy, white and Gold option that’s reminiscent of colorways from the rear in which the silhouette debuted. Here, uppers arrive in an ominous dark navy, while over while its signature aggressive overlays appear in jagged cuts of white and mid-grey leather. Angled geometrics continue at the bulky heel clip and midsole detail — the latter channeling the Air Jordan 6 — while its black rubber outsoles are reminiscent of the Air Max 90 before it. Completing the design are a few flashes of metallic gold found at the Swoosh, tongue and rear embroidery, upper eyelets, and insoles.
A confirmed Nike.com release date is still unknown, though the surfacing of its official images here below does indicate that a release won’t be too far off. In the meantime, enjoy a detailed look at the retro runner further on, and be sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter accountfor further updates on its release.
