LA-Themed Tonal Sneakers

Nike's Air Max BW Gets a Bright Los Angeles Colorway Design

— September 9, 2021 — Fashion
Nike introduces a new Los Angeles colorway to the signature Air Max BW sneaker model to celebrate the city of angels. The shoe is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year since it first launched back in 1991. The classic shoe is also known as the Big Window, delivering a slew of city-themed styles.

This latest design honors Los Angeles and its street fashion culture during the 90s. This includes looks such as big oversized shirts, bright sportswear, and more. The shoes itself has a blend of black and white mesh materials, leather accents, and nubuck detailing around the upper. It is then marked with very bright hits of orange of the puffy tongue, the thick collar, and rubberized Swoosh.
