This is a great pack in two colorways.

Nike Sportswear planned to release this pack on Oct. 18. These are 2 Air Max sneakers designed in collaboration with KAWS, the Brooklyn based artist. The two designers have used the Air Max 90 and Air Max 90 Current. Nike’s designer working with KAWS in this project is Jesse Leyva, the Nike Sportswear Design Director.

This Pack features creative 4-way stretch fabrics. The inspiration for these two shoes comes from ACG, Nike’s outdoor production brand. This Pack aims to create a sneaker with a trail runner’s attitude and yet have iconic stylish footwear traits. KAWS said he desired to create a simple sneaker that he could wear and include stylish elements too.

The black colorway looks impressive. The shoe lace has neon yellow highlights. At the side of the seam, there are neon yellow “XX” and also at the tip of the tongue too. The mudguard at the side of the shoe is made of another material. The side panel is in leather. The different materials make the shoe upper look good.

The white colorway has one main difference from its black colored counterpart. The outsole is neon yellow. The shoe lace is white with neon yellow highlights. I prefer the black colorway.
