To celebrate the arrival of summer, sportswear giant Nike has announced the launch of a variety of new lightweight, brightly colored sneaker silhouettes, a standout of which is the Nike Air Max Pre-Day.
The Nike Air Max Pre-Day features a deconstructed aesthetic while maintaining the original model's sporty look. In addition, the new sneaker features a notably eye-catching colorway that combines unique hues such as Mint Foam, Sail White, and Madder Root. These one-of-a-kind colors are combined through rigid paneling, which is offset by a Black Swoosh and speckled outsoles.
What's more, 13% of the sneaker is made from 'Nike Grind,' the brand's signature sustainable material that is comprised of old manufacturing scraps and leftover pieces from thrown-away sneakers.
