Originally released way back in 1991, the Nike Air Max BW’s OG “Persian Violet” look has been resurrected by the Swoosh on a number of occasions over the past 25 years — including this year. Nike hasn’t done the same, however, for the shoe’s slick “Marina Blue” make-up — until now. Getting the retro treatment for the very first time, 2016’s take on the shoe stays true to OG form, even coupling the runner’s original construction with the old Marina Blue/Green Jade-White color combo.

The long sought-after look can be found now at NSW spots like Rock City Kicks for $120 USD per pair while supplies last.
