Moscow-Inspired Chunky Shoes

Nike's Air Max 90 Sneaker Model Arrives in a Moscow Iteration

— November 9, 2020 — Fashion
Sportwear label Nike introduces a new pair of the iconic Air Max 90 sneaker silhouette in a special Moscow iteration for the season. The special release celebrates the Russian city and the sneaker's popularity in that location specifically. The design draws inspiration from the architecture of Moscow.

It boasts both historic and modern architecture for a perfect blend that honors the past and future at once. The colorway rests on a Smoke Gray, which has been selected to reference the buildings across the city. The shoes are then detailed with hues of Lazer Blue and Infrared to celebrate the night lights as the skyscrapers reflect light off the skyline. Additionally, there are Cyrillic writings on the shoe that read "Speed" and "City."
