Since its 20th anniversary celebration in 2018, Nike’s Air Max 98 silhouette has enjoyed an understandable resurgence, as its initial run was met with mixed reviews unlike its Air Max 97 predecessor. Now, the 98 is set to call upon a striking combination of Team Red and Green Strike, with the help of Wolf Grey and a darker shade of the same hue spread throughout numerous embellishments across this 98’s upper. Finishing off this 1998 classic’s head-turning aesthetic is the presence of golden yellow on its middle-most racing stripe, a few of its lace loops, and its toebox branding. Its over-layered upper and sleek construction resonates perfectly with many of today’s sneakerheads, boasting a look that harkens back to before the turn of the millenium. Enjoy a detailed look at this NSW offering below and expect pairs to begin arriving at retailers sometime in February.
