Nike Built an Incredibly Impressive Air Max Sneaker Out of “Wood”
Hear that? It sounds like a new Nike Air Max 90 sneaker has entered the chat. Only this pair is extra nice, as it features details seemingly inspired by speakers.
With the latest Air Max 90, Nike installs a pretty impressive "sound system" complete with velvety woodgrain-patterned panels and other audiophile-worthy textures.
It evokes the feel of a classic wooden bookshelf speaker, cleverly reimagined as one of Nike's most classic and coziest sneakers.
The "Light British Tan" Air Max 90s comes just after Jay Chou's guitar-inspired Air Max 95 sneakers, which featured their own strings and even a pick. Yes, you read that right.
Nike's clever Air Max 90 "Light British Tan" sneaker is scheduled to drop on atmos Tokyo's website on December 22 for ￥20,130, or around $130.
It's unknown when the rest of the world will be able to feel the rhythm of these nice "wooden" Air Max 90s. Hopefully, it's sooner rather than later.
Nike's got plenty of AM90 treats for the time being, from sweet "cookies and cream" pairs to warm "Campfire" iterations.
