The Air Max 98‘s busy 2018 campaign is ready to keep rolling with another brand new colorway. Utilizing its vast color blocking capabilities, the Swoosh adds Racer Blue and Volt to the otherwise black and white selection to add another attractive look to its growing catalogue. Blue and Volt are used for contrast on this particular model, as the brighter of the two hues can only be found on the front two lace loops as well as the striping and Air branding toward its heel. Its namesake – Racer Blue – owns a bit more real estate on the upper, as it makes up for the entirety of the lace and tongue unit in conjunction with both Swoosh branded elements on the upper.

While the 98 recycles the midsole unit of its Air Max 97 predecessor, its unique upper has allowed for the Swoosh to release a plethora of varieties in its 20th anniversary year. No specific release date is being reported at the moment, but you can expect pairs of this Air Max 98 “Racer Blue” at your local Nike Sportswear retailer sometime next month.
