Unrelenting style. Retro design. Innovative technology. When it comes to the Nike Air Max 98, there’s no better blend of a classic design with cutting-edge updates.
Sneakerheads and streetwear historians often consider the ’90s the golden age of sneaker innovation. During that time, Nike registered a track record of success in the sneaker game that elevated the brand to superstar status with popular releases like the Air Max 95 and the Air Max 97.
Reworked Sneaker Design
Legendary Nike designer Sergio Lozano developed the Air Max 98’s fresh design. Taking its cue from the visible, full-length Air unit of the Air Max 97, complete with “bubbles” strategically placed throughout, Lozano retooled this shoe’s upper.
A blend of synthetic leather and textile characterizes the shoe’s upper. This combination of materials provides plenty of texture, along with style and durability. The upper rests atop a polyurethane foam-sculpted midsole that provides stability and comfort. The shoe’s rubber outsole ensures traction on any running surface, in any weather condition.
But these kicks aren’t just for hardcore athletes or exercise enthusiasts. From the hardcourt to the red carpet, the rich and famous have rocked different versions of the Air Max 98 and demonstrated how these sneakers can complement any outfit or team uniform.
A Nike Mainstay
The Air Max 98 isn’t as flashy and hasn’t received the same type of fanfare as other releases – like the Air Max 97. However, the 98’s tried-and-tested design and enduring style make it a top choice for today’s runners and sneakerheads alike.
