Nike VaporMax 97 “Silver Bullet” Drops in S’pore and M’sia on March 30
Hybrids and reconstructions are part and parcel of Nike’s approach in paying homage to the past while keeping things fresh.
The latest combination which debuted earlier this year is the Air VaporMax 97, which as the name suggests combines the upper of an Air Max 97 with the sole unit of an Air VaporMax.
The upcoming colourway of the VaporMax 97 pays tribute to the Air Max 97’s OG release of the “Silver Bullet”, inspired by the bullet trains of Japan.
Similar to the original, the upcoming pair blends leather and mesh in silver and white, along with its contrasting red mini Swoosh.
The pair will be available on March 30 from Nike.com at 9am for S$299/RM849.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Air Max 97 “Portugal Patchwork” Gets A Release Date
In a follow-up to last year’s CR7 Air Max 97 “Golden Patchwork”, Nike and Cristiano Ronaldo are set to release a new colourway of their collaborative sneaker this April.
Previewed back in January, the sneaker adds to the partnership between Ronaldo and the Swoosh after the footballer became the third athlete, after Michael Jordan and LeBron James, to sign a lifetime sponsorship deal with Nike.
Inspired by Ronaldo’s humble beginnings when his mother would sew up holes in his shoes to save money, the latest colourway pays homage to his home country of Portugal.
The shoe will take on a predominantly Red upper with oddly-placed stitching to give the pair its patched-up aesthetics. A golden Swoosh on its lateral side alongside CR7’s branding on the heel provide subtle contrast.
The Nike x CR7 Air Max 97 “Portugal Patchwork” arrives in store on April 24.

One of the most coveted pairs of sneakers last year is set to make its global release in just a matter of days, and it looks like Singapore will be getting the drop as well.
Beloved sneaker retailer Limited Edt has just teased on Instagram that it will be releasing the Air Max 97/1 x Sean Wotherspoon in Singapore.

Most sneakerheads, especially Air Max fans, would consider this drop as a must cop, particularly with how rare they were just a couple of months ago. Back in November, before the shoe’s limited release in Complex Con, it was auctioned for over US$90,000.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Singapore release of the Nike Air Max 97/1 x Sean Wotherspoon.
Update: Limited Edt announced that the public ballot for the pair will take place on March 26. Ballot entries can only be obtained by purchasing a pair of Air Max shoes from any LE outlet (except the outlet store) before March 25. Read more here.

5) Nike Air Max 270
While the VaporMax took to the shelves in 2017, this year’s newbie in Nike’s Air Max lineup is the Air Max 270. This new dynamic silhouette takes on the tallest ever Air unit, measuring at 32mm, at its heel.
It’s also the first Air Max sneaker that was designed for lifestyle purposes as its primary purpose, as opposed to sports and fitness.

Women
1) Nike Air Max 90
The Women’s edition of the Air Max 90 honours its heritage by providing a supportive upper and top of the range cushioning to keep your feet comfortable while looking stylish AF.
This colourway of the 90 mixes pink-beige with gunsmoke grey, atop a fitting gum sole for the perfect faded jeans accompaniment.
Price: S$179

2) Nike Air Max 95 Premium
With many retro sneakers making a comeback, the one at the forefront right now is arguably the Air Max 95. Unbeknownst to many, the Air Max 95 was designed with the human body as its inspiration. The sole represents the spine, while the layered waves act as muscle fibres and loopholes as a rib cage.
This premium remake of the classic shoe is made from leather for that luxe feel and texture.
Price: S$239

3) Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit “Black/Vintage Wine”
While deceivingly looking like a plain black colourway, this version of the VaporMax has subtle hints of Vintage Wine throughout the Flyknit weave on its upper. The result is a simple but elegant piece of footwear that is worthy of any occasion.
Price: S$269

4) Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit “Grey Multicolor”
On the other spectrum, the “Grey Multicolor” is the very opposite of the subtlety of the previous pair. Taking on a very distinct and eye-catching Multicolor weave on a predominantly grey base, the appropriately named “Grey Multicolor” is as striking as it goes and for good reason.
Price: S$269

5) Nike Air Max 270

Nike and Cristiano Ronaldo Add A New Colourway To Their Air Max 97 “Patchwork” Collaboration
Following the “Golden Patchwork” Air Max 97 and Air Force 1, Nike and Cristiano Ronaldo have debuted a brand new colourway for their ongoing collaboration.
Paying homage to Ronaldo’s home turf and national squad Portugal, the pair features a red aesthetic and the collection’s signature patchwork stitching on the overlays.
For the unacquainted, the “Patchwork” outlook of the collaboration is inspired by Ronaldo’s humble upbringing, in which his mother would patch up his shoes whenever there were holes in them.
Besides the red laces as seen in the photos, the shoe also comes with yellow and green lace options, adding on to the Portuguese connection.
Finishing the look is a black heel tab with Air Max and CR7 branding in gold.
