Continuing its rollout of Air Max 98 iterations, Nike recently gave the AM model a new speedy “Racer Blue” makeover.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the latest iteration of the Air Max 98 features a very ’90s color palette which highlights the dynamic design of the silhouette. Despite a plain white base hits of blue and volt accented by contrasting black liven up the colorway. While 3M found on the upper, Swoosh and AIR branding and a full-length Air unit midsole round up the design of the shoe.

Priced at $160 USD, the Air Max 98 “Racer Blue” will be releasing at select Nike Sportswear retailers sometime this May.

For more Nike, more vibrant colorways of the sportswear giant’s new Air Max 270 silhouette come June.
