Nike has truly gone all out for the holiday season this year, reinterpreting four silhouettes in colorways that weed out all those who are faint of heart. Here, the Air Max 90 and Blazer Mid have been festooned in a panoply of red and white candy cane graphics, gold accents, silk ribbon laces and forest green lining, atop translucent outsoles speckled with red and green sequins. Slightly more wearable are the Air Tech Challenge III QS and Tennis Classic Ultra QS silhouettes, which sport a woven pattern on the upper reminiscent of ugly sweaters, with the former featuring additional gold snowflake embroidery on the heel, a gold Swoosh, and candy cane rope laces. Set to release at select retailers on December 5, will you be wishing for these in your Christmas stockings?
