Arriving as the latest all-new style by the Swoosh, we welcome the Nike Air Max Portal!
Nike are no stranger to reviving old bangers. We’ve seen it done time and time again, much to the excitement of old-school sneaker connoisseurs. With an entire series recently dedicated to Cult Classic silhouettes, featuring hits like Air 180 in ‘Ultramarine’ and Air Force 1 ‘Ivory Snake’, there’s one key factor that ensures these kicks cultivate a fanbase in a contemporary climate. It’s the retro steez!
Now, don’t get me wrong, we all love a sleek modern release, but sometimes the real gems lie within the heritage. Despite being an entirely new style for the Swoosh, the Nike Air Max Portal is the latest offering that’s dripping in 2000s essence. Set to land during this AUTUMN 2024, let’s see what the shoe is all about…
Drawing some visual similarities to sneakers like the Air Max DN and Air Max Sunder, this brand new model boasts a thick mesh upper, situated atop sleek synthetic leather mudguards. The stand-out feature is obvious – an extremely beefy midsole that makes for unparalleled comfort, whilst providing floods of nostalgia. Another element that seamlessly achieves retro finesse is the miniature Swooshes that grace the heel, medial sidewall and midfoot, a theme commonly executed across Nike’s ‘90s catalogue.
With significantly big boots to fill when comparing the model to the rest of the Oregon-based brands current releases, could the Nike Air Max Portal be the next IT-shoe?
If you’re feeling the Air Max Portal, fear not, as the silhouette will be arriving in a plethora of colourways in early AUTUMN 2024. Anticipated to land at NIKE SNKRS & SELECTED RETAILERS, make sure you’re locked to our socials @thedropdate for the latest updates!
