Nike knows classic shoes. Is there any running shoe more inimitable than the '90s-era Nike Air Max sneakers? Probably not.

And now you can drift in your Air Max. Finally!

The Nike Air Max Drift is a subtle update to the classic Air Max 90, fitting the retro running shoe with two pull tabs and a slightly streamlined upper that makes the already sleek sneaker extra fast, or at least extra fast-looking.

And in the speedy colorways on tap, either muted or quite bold, the silhouette is brought into sharper relief.

The name would certainly be a hint.

Still, the Air Max Drift is hardly the only innovative new shoe to roll out of Nike's stable as of late.

For a more dramatic shift, consider its new Free-soled moccasin or even Nike's impressively easy summer sandal-sneaker. And if you want a more versatile style of shoe, well, Nike has that on hand in spades.

Still, considering that the Air Max Drift can be yours from Nike's website for under $130, anyone seeking a speedy Air Max ought to be plenty satisfied.
