Around the ankle colors and toebox are mesh panels, premium suede appears over the sidewalls. A full-grain leather Swoosh sits just above the shoe’s mudguards, also constructed with supple nubuck.

Nike and its archives of 90s tech runners is rife with striking models, one being the Air Max 96 II which has been reintroduced to today’s sneaker generation by way of retro releases of its OG offerings such as the “Goldenrod” and “Comet Red”. Proceeding right along with more launches, the silhouette is now further advancing its catalog with a duo of collegiate-themed variations.The first rendition is titled the “Blackened Blue/Gym Red” makeup. As opposed to making use of the usual leather overlays, this version welcomes in denim materials that split between indigo blue across the mid-foot and heels and a faded black component that acts as the mudguard. Varsity-esque punches of “Gym Red” and yellow provide further contrasting hits across the Swooshes, mid-foot stripes, tongue branding and heightened heel overlays. Resting below all of this is a white foundational layer that deviates between a canvas from the toe box to the mid-foot and corduroy textures for the collars.The second option in this pack channels more of that school-inspired energy, but instead calls for a brighter color scheme. A beach-y beige tone is applied to the corduroy overlays and comes mated with a blue denim mudguard. More red and yellow accents arrive on the Swooshes here, the former of which this time serves as the background color while the former is pronounced with patch-like chenille textures. Tongues and laces are presented with a creamy skin, and come accented with green and yellow Air Max branding.Both of these Air Max 96 II pairs are slated to drop on June 1 through select retailers like Naked for $196 USD.For parties interested in more Nike news, the Nike Free Run Trail “Black/Anthracite” colorway is making a return to the shelves.

At the beginning of this year, Nike and its Sportswear division reintroduced its Lahar Low — a hybrid sneaker and boot silhouette that originally launched back in 1989. To start off the month of June, the Swoosh family is increasing the silhouette’s output with a duo of new makeups, one being the “Madeira/Dark Beetroot” colorway, and the other, a “Hemp/Smoke” iteration.When scoping out the design aspects of both installments, the former mentioned surely lands on the darker side of the spectrum. A majority of its canvas build is dominated by its “Dark Beetroot” shade, while the “Madeira” notes are invited in to dress up the overlays that lie closest to the throat. Mudguards are built with a chocolate-y brown tone, and come marked with black synthetic overlays that affix to the mid-foot and toe caps. Slivers of silver also pops naturally through the metal bolts adjacent to the throat as well as through the tiny Swooshes that are positioned along the collars.Its release sibling leans on neutral tones to outfit its entirety. A “Hemp” hue wraps a majority of its base layer, sporting small deviations between the canvas material that forges most of the real estate and the nubuck fabrics that make up the overlays. Following close behind are “Smoke” accents that arrive along the Swooshes, heel tab’s trimming, mudguards and the entire chunky sole units.If interested in purchasing, you can find select retailers like Naked dropping them on June 1 for $144 USD a piece.Previously, the Nike Dunk Low was recently revealed in a clean “Team Red” colorway.
