Back from 1991 to celebrate over 30 years of visible Air, this Nike Air Max 180 sports a truly OG ’90s colorway for 2018.
When the Air Max 180 returned in 2014 it sat on shelves everywhere, despite receiving some interesting colorways. With the hype surrounding Air Max at its height, now seems like the best time to retro this classic once again.
According to Nike, the Air Max 180 allowed wearers to put Nike’s Air cushioning to the pavement because the Air unit was bonded to the sole. Back in the day, Air units were the s**t, and the bigger they were the better. The 180-degree Air unit offered a completely new aesthetic, and made the units much more durable.
Now, the sneaker is back with quintessential ’90s Nike branding on the tongue and heels. Additionally, we get those classic smaller Swooshes at the side panels.
The Nike Air Max 180 in ‘Bright Ceramic/Dark Concord’ drops tomorrow at Nike retailers worldwide like Eastbay.com and Nike SNKRS for $130.

Absolutely love these classic 180’s with the orange swoosh. These were my first real high quality pair of trainers, I was 10 years old and begged my Dad to buy them me. Where can I buy these from now please, I definitely want a pair that I won’t grow out of this time! I live in the UK.
Thanks, Karl
I would check eBay
