Nike pays tribute to the countries and cultures that have made the Nike
Air Max an international icon by updating the classic sneaker with a
series of country-specific camouflage patterns that, despite being
designed to conceal, stand out on the streets.
Initially released in 1987, the Nike Air Max running shoe was crafted
for sport but was quickly adopted on Europe’s streets as a badge of
self-expression. The Camo Collection honors and evolves this heritage by
updating the shoe with vintage camo prints from France, Germany, Italy,
Japan and the United Kingdom – and with Nike Hyperfuse technology.
Using heat and pressure, Nike Hyperfuse forms a single, durable
composite material from three layers: one for stability, one for
breathability and one for durability. The resulting unibody design
boasts a level of precision unattainable via traditional cut-and-sew
methods. It is also lightweight, without abrasive seams.
The collection’s central style impact, meanwhile, come from its prints,
which are found on both the shoes and their boxes. Japan's camo
print was first issued in 1991, and now adorns the Air Max 90 and Air
Max 95.
