Nike Air Max Air Max 96 'Supreme - Silver'

The Supreme x Nike Air Max 96 “Silver” is a Spring 2021 collaboration between the “World Famous” streetwear brand and Nike on the retro running shoe from 1996. The relatively obscure Air Max 96’s original release was sandwiched between two tentpole Nike Air Max models: the Air Max 95 and Air Max 97, which could explain its slept-on status in the sneaker world. It has been largely absent from retro releases in recent years, save for Supreme’s unearthing of the shoe for its Spring/Summer 2021 collection. In typical Supreme fashion, the brand modified its design in bold fashion with translucent panels to its side profile. The new look replaces the mesh panels that were on the original Air Max 96. Save for the collar and eyelets, the rest of the upper is finished off in metallic silver leather. A red embroidered Swoosh appears on the lateral heel. Supreme branding can be found beneath the red embroidered Swoosh on the top of the tongue and around the edges of the tongue. A silver Supreme logo plate resides on the heel. Visible Air units in the heel and forefoot of the midsole similar to those of the Air Max 95 complete the design. Release date: May 6, 2021. Supreme - Silver
