Nike's New Air Max 270 Flyknit Sneakers Get a Multi-Tonal Makeover

Sportswear giant Nike continues to drop new iterations of the iconic Air Max 270 Flyknit sneakers and its latest version sees a multicolor update. The latest version boasts a predominantly black tone, serving as the base upper and has contrasting under weaves of vibrant hues in addition to the eye-catching red heel. Nike's branding details adorn the shoe in the form of a large Swoosh finished in a bright yellow tone on top of the black canvas, which stretches out from the toe area to the midfoot section.

Additionally, there is also a bright red Air Max 170 motif found on both the tongue and the midfoot. To finish off the new iteration, there is a hybrid sole unit, an external Air heel bag in black, and a white foam forefoot sole.
