Air Max 98

I covered two of the upcoming Air Max 98s dropping last month. Now comes news of a couple new color ways. With the shoe’s 20th anniversary just around the corner, a couple more great models are dropping. First off is the ‘Fossil’ Air Max 98. These woman’s exclusives combine a simple cream/white color way with a classic black outsole. These are set to drop Feb 9 at Nike retailers online and in-store. Also dropping are a triple white color way for men that is one of the cleanest takes on the 98 to date and are dropping that same day.

Nike made a splash with the return of the Air Max 98 in 2016. The release of OG color ways as well as three colors for the collab they did with Supreme showed that there was a market out there for faithful recreations of the shoe. Now in 2018, Nike is releasing two great colors in celebration of the shoe’s 20th anniversary. First off is the tour yellow version pictured above and a bright blue/red released nicknamed “Gundam” which you can see after the jump. These look like they’ve kept true to the originals in terms of materials and should appeal to the segment of their consumer base who prefers faithful recreations to new iterations on the style using modern tech. I’m all for the 98 coming back and it’s looking like this year will net even more versions of the sneaker later in the year. Look for both these sneakers to drop at Nike retailers after Jan 17.
