Nike's Air Max 270s recently received an update, with the sneakers now offered in a minimalist blue and white colorway, giving it the icy look that it gets its name from, the 'Igloo.'
With a lightweight build and colorful accents, the new Air Max 270s are perfect for the spring and summer. As the sneakers boast a form-fitting knit material, they can easily be slipped on and off, however the laces that are included on top allow them to be tightened and loosened for a more comfortable fit.
Nike's classic Swoosh logo is featured near the toes on the sides, away from its usual location at the middle. This allows the transparent accents on the soles to stand out more, and to break up the rest of the colorway.
