Nike’s Realtree Air Max Can’t Hide in This Clean ‘Fit
Camouflage is meant to help the military blend in with their surroundings and, ultimately, become invisible to the enemy during sneak attacks. In the fashion world, it stands out as this cool, bold pattern on clothing pieces and classic sneakers.
Take the "Realtree" Air Max 95s, for instance. It's far from invisible, and that's quite okay. The main thing here is that the classic model looks quite clean in the outdoorsy camo print.
The overall design is quiet, with the Air Max sneaker offering layers of dark-colored suede and matte textures. The brand also blacks out the shoe's chunky soles, which feature extra-large Air bubbles for a more classic look.
Previous efforts have gone full Realtree mode with total camo coverage. But Nike uses the print as more of an accent on the Air Max 95, applying it to areas like the tongue and heel tab.
And honestly, no notes.
Again, Nike has given other models Realtree spins, including the Calm Mule, Aqua Turf water shoes, and Vomero Plus runners.
Some have already dropped. But the "Realtree" Air Max 95s are expected to release on Nike's website in the spring.
