Nike Collaborates With Olaolu Slawn for AIR MAX 90 Redesign

UK-based Nigerian artist Slawn, known for his surreal and chaotic style, has transformed the iconic AIR MAX 90 into a canvas for his raw, street-infused vision. Forget subtle nods; this collaboration screams authenticity, mirroring Slawn’s non-conformist attitude and his deep connection to the streets of London. From the paint-speckled black and white colorways, echoing his graffiti roots, to the defiant stares of his cartoonish figures embossed on the heel, every detail tells a story. This is the AIR MAX 90 reimagined, a dream collaboration brought to life.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Slawn’s artwork is intricately woven into the leather uppers, inviting you to explore his imagined universe, a place where reality blurs with the surreal. And the masterstroke? A hand-painted Swoosh effect, adding a touch of refined chaos to this beloved classic. Catch the NIKE x SLAWN AIR MAX 90 first at a London pop-up on March 1st, then globally in April.
