When the Nike Tech Pack originally debuted, it was the fusion of technology and classic and casual stylings. In some ways the hybrid Air Max 90 x 360 which released prior to the Tech Pack exemplified this relationship best. It introduced the latest and greatest in cushioning and seamless Nike Air Max technology with the old school aesthetics people have come to love from the Air Max 90. This latest Nike Air Max 90 x 360 Tech Pack follows some similar design themes as some of the previous footwear releases such as the Air Max 90, Rhyolite and Okwahn. Available now at UNDFTD.

Last year was the release of the Tier 0 Nike Dunk Destroyers which included two colorways as well as matching Destroyers Varsity Jackets. Almost a year later, Nike has revived this concept with their latest release of the Nike Dunk High Destroyers. This time, Nike utilized a reddish brown colorway alongside the customary use of felt. Another jacket will release in association, the Subzero Down Jacket which bears reference to the Destroyers theme. The latest incarnation of the jacket takes a decidedly more technical approach unlike the traditional stylings of the Varsity jacket seen last year. Available now at Atmos.
