Nike introduces a new iteration of its Air Max 270 Vistascape sneaker silhouette in a brand new colorway blend that takes Light Orewood Brown with Newsprint and Chile Red. All of this is reinforced by technical sensibilities throughout the construction.
This also adds a touch of retro design language, nodding to the ACG division of the sportswear label. The base foundation of the sneaker is constructed from soft ripstop materials before it is overlayed with suede panels around the mid panel, the vamp, the eye stay, and the toe box. The heel counter is reinforced by TPU materials for a slightly clear look over the blue base guard, which also provides a space to weave webbing straps through.
