Today is Nike Air Max Day which means Nike is dropping a bunch of, you guessed it, Air Max sneakers. Due to COVID-19, this year’s Air Max celebration doesn’t feel as joyous as years passed but regardless, the show must go on. While the Air Max 90 has been a big focus of this year’s Air Max celebration, Nike has been hinting at some other plans over the past few weeks. We had been reporting on an auto-lacing version of the Air Max called the Adapt LE 01. Today, the shoe dropped in Asia and official images of the “Grey Gum” colorways have surfaced.

As you can see, the shoe features a grey upper with an orange bottom and back heel. Overall, the shoe is quite bulky which makes sense when you consider how there is auto-lacing technology placed inside of the midsole. This shoe will function with either manually or through the App that has been created specifically for Nike’s auto-lacing range.

For now, there is no information on when these will release in North America so stay tuned as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest information.

Every year in March, Nike holds Air Mac Day which is a time to celebrate one of the brand’s most popular lines. Every single year, the brand comes out with a new Air Max model and it is usually released around this time. In 2020, Nike is bringing the Air Max 2090 into the world. What makes this shoe unique is the fact that it has a shape similar to the Air Max 90 although with a more futuristic feel. This is done to pay homage to a shoe that is celebrating its 30th birthday this year.

Nike recently took to its website and revealed the full Air Max Day range. The official date is March 26th and will certainly bring some dope sneakers into the fold. For instance, the Air Max 2090 will officially drop in a couple of colorways. From there, we will have an Air Max 90 Duck Camo Pack which features a play on the infamous Atmos collab from 2013. Included in this pack will be an Air Max 2090 with the same aesthetics. Finally, there will be an Air Max 90 Metallic Pack which features three glossy colorways. These models will be gold, silver, and rose gold.

Check out the official images below and let us know what you think of these models.
