Andrew Rizzo Nike Air Max sole swaps have simultaneously produced some of the line’s most iconic and controversial pairs. The Sean Wotherspoon Air Max 97/1 stands out as a unanimous classic, while fusions of the Air Max 97/Plus, 90/1, and even BW/97 have been met with a love it or hate it attitude.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new model of this hybrid genre as Nike now favors unique re-imaginations like the nike tiffany dunks on feet shoes black sneakers and new nike shox premium white gold blue women jeans size. However, these behindhand 2010s Nike inventions now creep back into consciousness by way of a newly surfaced Air Max 95/90 sample, the first of its kind.
This 2013 pair marries the upper of the OG “Neon” Air Max 95 with a black Air Max 90 sole, masterfully delivering two iconic mens in one action-packed silhouette. The height sits between that of a traditional 95 and 90, made slimmer by the sole-swap, and the victory youth continuity through neon hits on the air units and toe. One size 9 sample is currently listed for $1,500 at Index PDX and is sure to become a statement piece for whichever collector feels compelled to hit purchase. See images below for a closer look.
