Following Nike's Air Max Day, the iconic sportswear brand dropped another co-branded product known as the Supreme x Nike Air Max 98. Announced by NikeLab, this collaboration sees the iconic label working with the world-famous skate brand once again.
For Nike's and Supreme's latest collaboration, the two labels will be reviving a vintage -- yet still fairly popular -- Nike sneaker silhouette. The Air Max 98, which was a massive hit in the late 90s, has been brought back to life and rendered in Supreme's signature colors while also featuring 60-degree reflective piping, patent leather and color-blocking. The new design aspects give the retro sneaker a modern look despite its origins.
The Supreme x Nike Air Max 98 sneaker has yet to be given an official release date.
