Vibrant Blue Running Sneakers

Nike's Air VaporMax 360 Arrives in a Bright Varsity Royal Colorway

— April 7, 2020 — Fashion
Nike's signature Air VaporMax 360 sneaker model arrives in a bright tonal palette in time for the Spring season with the latest Varsity Royal colorway. The new sneaker update is one of the model's most vivid tonal options as the hybrid silhouette draws some of the blue hues to honor its original inspiration of the 2006 Air Max 360.

The uppers are detailed with textural details in the Varsity hue alongside Blue Fury to give it a rugged look. The two tones come together in a blended visual to create a gradient effect. The branding Swoosh along the side is informed by a iridescent green color to contrast against the blue base foundation surrounded by a black trimming.
