Nike introduces a Spiral Sage colorway of the Air Max Trix LE sneaker model set to join its Fall/Winter 2020 roster. The footwear is ready for the fall season and boasts a construction that blends nylon across the upper with rough suede to offer texture at the overlapping panels.
The design language celebrates the 90s, translated through the textures and the silhouette. The shoe sits on top of a chunky sole unit that also features the Air unit by the sportswear brand. The rest of the shoe includes plush padding on the sneaker's interior to deliver comfort. The back of the shoe delivers reflective details to contrast against darker sides of the shoe's tonal design.
