Nike Air Max 90 X Kaws

Kaws definitely has the magic touch these days. Fresh off of his Nike 1World Air Force 1's success, it seems he’s already working on yet another collaboration with Nike, this time a very clean colorway of the Air Max 90. Coming in a white and volt colorway, these Air Maxes would be a little on the unremarkable side were it not for the signature Kaws X’s being the dominating theme of these shoes. Especially noticeable on the toebox stitching, the X motif is definitely pretty strong on these kicks, even appearing on the lacelocks. There’s no word on a firm release yet, especially due to the fact that these are currently still in sample form; however, should they see release, expect popularity compared to everything else that Kaws graces with his artistic vision.
