The Nike Air Max 90 ‘Archetype’ delivers what appears to be an unfinished iteration of the classic silhouette, one based on Tinker Hatfield’s prototyping process and an early execution of the shoe that reveals its inner workings. The sneaker’s white mesh upper is fortified with raw-edged synthetic suede overlays and exposed foam around the black textile collar. Haphazard streaks of Bright Crimson surround the visible Max Air unit in the heel, which works in tandem with an encapsulated forefoot unit for a smooth ride.
