Nike introduces its latest Ugly Duckling pack which is made up of its signature Air Max 90 sneaker silhouette. The theme behind the range highlights premium materials throughout the construction and contrasting paneled details. It highlights the brand's previous theme that was first seen detailing the classic Dunk sneaker model in 2001.
It now takes a more contemporary approach as it is filled with dynamic colorways that are elevated by premium details. The uppers are made from pigskin nubuck materials on both of the silhouettes. The first iteration is done in brown tones sand the second fuses hues of orange, black, grey, and dusty green for a brighter pop of color. It is set to launch officially today online at SNKRS.
