air max pas cher The former became an overnight favorite amongst 1.0 sneakerheads; the latter MJ wore in 1997 while winning his fifth NBA title (including that game he played while trying not to ralph all over Scottie Pippen's jersey). But then came the Air Max 98. In the face of high expectations for the next edition of the shoe, Nike...kind of put up a brick. The 98s weren't outright hated, but were criticized for looking too similar to the 97, despite their fresh new colorways. As a result, the 98s became one of Nike's few "forgotten" Air Max sneakers. That all changed when a skate brand from New York took a crack at the silhouette.

And considering the folks buying hyped-up Nikes today are the ones who were watching Gundam back in the day, the Air Max 98s are poised to become one of the most coveted sneakers of the year. It's long overdue. Back in '98, what made the Air Max 98s technologically advanced was their full-length Air sole, which 20 years later looks like the Step 1 in a progression that ends with the all-air.

air vapormax pas cher For one, this is the first time they've ever returned to shelves since their OG release. And style-wise, the white, blue, and red colorway couldn't be a better fit for today's oversized sneakers and track pants-obsessed culture. Our take: if you're still rocking with skinny jeans in January 2018, these aren't the kicks for you. For 2018, the Swoosh is dropping a brand new silhouette that combines two classic Air Max sneakers from its past—the Air Max 93 and Air Max 180—to create something entirely new and modern. Now, if we didn't know that those two shoes were the inspiration for the 270, we might not even be able to tell.

From the 93, the shoe borrows its sock-like fit—which Nike helped pioneer 25 years ago with the former's then-radical neoprene lining. Which bring us to the number 270. After all, 93 and 180 equal 273, which was the name of the sneaker in prototype versions. So what gives? Turns out Nike went with "270" to highlight the 270 degrees of Air that the sneaker has, wrapping all around the heel towards the midfoot.
