Nike introduces another set of the Air Max SNDR sneaker models and this time, it is coated in a GORE-TEX finish for a weatherproof structure. The 90s silhouette has the treatment across the durable ripstop upper and it comes in three colorway options. There is an all-black finish or a purple look, rounded out by a bold red hue.
All three shoes have a stealthy look with black rooted in three colorway palettes. It is enclosed by the zipper over the forefoot and has a small Swoosh branding that is seen on the side of the shoe in black. Pull tabs are added to provide a seamless touch of accessibility and it is finished with air units.
