With a nod to spring’s bright menswear trend, the Nike Royal Air Mid is a triumph of form and function – technical innovation meets high fashion | |
|
Bold, inky colourways stormed the men’s catwalks for spring. Clean lines and easy tailoring found elevation through stamps of painterly green and red. Leading the charge in the footwear department are Nike’s Royal Air Mid trainers. Sculptural in appeal, their unique colour-blocking disregards the individual panels of a regularly stitched shoe. An innovative upper execution involves moulding upper overlays as part of a larger panel to create a simplified X-rayed aesthetic. This futuristic looking silhouette gets an urban kick through a palette of iced peppermint, pillar-box red and deep, chalky purple, all inspired by those pastel-hued French delicacies – macaroons. The hi-top styling and padded collar promise a powerhouse of support – reminding us that not even the arresting, modern look can undermine the Royal Air Mid’s status as a front runner on the courts. The mighty Swoosh and killer colour range ensure that this flawless shoe has total fashion-meets-sport kudos. The Nike Royal Air Mid takes the hi-top to a higher plane. |
