One of the most iconic Air Max sneakers of all-time is the Nike Air Max 98 which carries forward the dad shoe aesthetic we all know and love. This sneaker has received plenty of colorways over the years and every so often, we are blessed with yet another. This time around, it appears as though Nike is using an NBA team as the inspiration for a new model. While it’s not an official inspiration, there is no denying the San Antonio Spurs vibes on the sneaker, below.

As you can see, white leather and mesh wraps its way around the shoe while black is placed on the top. There are silver Nike swooshes place on the sides and toe box which helps accelerate the Spurs motif. If you’re a fan of the Texas-based basketball team, these might be the kicks for you. 

According to Sneaker News, there is no official release date for these but you can expect them to drop in the near future. Let us know in the comments below what you think and whether or not you plan on copping.

Nike’s iconic Air Max 90 silhouette turns 30 years old this year, so sneakerheads can look forward to several special edition releases, including classic colorways and brand new designs. Among the Air Max 90s on the horizon is a colorful version inspired by bubble wrap – a play on Nike Air – which will be releasing as part of a larger Air Max “Bubble Pack” at the end of this month.

The Bubble Pack Air Max 90 features a white base highlighted by a layered air bubble aesthetic for an iridescent effect. The bubble wrap inspo can be found on the toe box and tongue tag as well as the ankle collar and portions of the heel.

Nike’s Air Max line has delivered some classics over the years and sneakerheads have felt the benefits. The late 90s produced some dope Air Max models including the 98 which carries some of the dad shoe aesthetics we see popularized today. Ever since the resurgence of the Air Max 97, Nike has been showing love to the 98 through a plethora of new colorways. As we head towards the warmer months, Nike is preparing us for a barrage of summer-themed Air Max shoes and the 98 is no different.

This latest Air Max 98 offering is being called “Watermelon” and it’s easy to see why. The upper is made of white mesh while neon green and pink highlights make their way throughout. Black leather wraps its way around the silhouette while neon green is placed onto the Air Max unit. Overall, it makes for a colorful shoe that is absolutely perfect for the summer. If you’re someone who wears flashy colors, these kicks will match perfectly.

Nike has been adding bubble wrap aesthetic to some of its Air Max models recently and now, the Nike Air Max 98 is about to get that very same treatment. Now, you may be asking: is this bubble wrap actually poppable. Unfortunately, the answer is no but it still manages to look pretty interesting. 

As you can see in the official images below, the shoe has a purple and blue upper while patches of bubbles are placed on the back heel, toe box, and side panels right above the midsole. Overall, it’s a pretty out of the ordinary look that will certainly draw the eyes of sneakerheads who are looking for something a little different. Not to mention, the colors are perfect for the warmer months so be sure to consider these when you go sneaker shopping for your spring wardrobe.
