Nike's Extra-Clean Air Max Soccer Shoe Is the Best of Both Worlds
The Nike Air Max Joga Bonito era advances with the "Black/Medium Fuchsia" release.
It's a mostly dark take on the hybrid model, featuring the upper of the Mercurial R9 and the sole of the Air Max 95. In particular, the wavy upper is covered in black and dark purple, while the rest of the sneaker is sprinkled with small fuchsia pink and bright yellow pops, which provide just enough cool color contrast.
It's yet another stylish Air Max Joga Bonito sneaker, to put it simply.
So far into the model's debut, it has appeared in classic schemes like "Neon" and "Metallic Silver" as well as fresh designs like camouflage. Basically, Nike dresses the Air Max soccer model like the R9 cleat one day and like the Air Max 95 the next. The Air Max Joga Bonito balances the best of both worlds, not only in its design but also in its color options.
Right now, it's leaning into its street-savvy AM95 personality.
The "Black/Medium Fuchsia" sneakers are scheduled to drop on November 12 at select stores like Sneaker Politics and Shiekh for $180.
