Nike is offering a duo of wear-away models with the Air Max 90 and 97 “DIY Flare.”

Featuring original and untouched colors of white, pink and blue, the shoe will unearth unique linings of “Bright Crimson” upon constant wear or the use of acetone. The sharp hue makes its way on to the Air Max 90 and 97’s mudguards, creating a minimal yet bright shade of contrast. Both silhouettes still feature their traditional branding details that can be found on the tongues, heels and panels, finally tied together with soft white and blue laces for a tonal finish.

The Nike Air Max 90 and 97 “DIY Flare” are available now on Finish Line for $130 USD and $180 USD respectively.
