Nike Air Max 98 New York

The Nike Air Max 98 New York celebrates both the NBA New York Knicks and the MLB New York Mets in its colorway of orange and blue. The upper of this sneaker celebrating New York sports teams builds upon a base of tightly woven white mesh featuring black stripes. Black leather forms undulating overlays around the shoe and at the uppermost eye stays, while blue leather forms a wavy mud guard that completely surrounds the shoe. A side-panel Nike swoosh outlined in orange matches the orange eye stays, the tongue liner, and the Air branding on the lateral heel. A white foam midsole encapsulates a full-length air unit, and it is also orange in its tinting. The black rubber outsole sports an orange Nike swoosh and waffle lugs for grip. Our favorite detail on this sneaker is the '98 graphic that hits the medial side panel with a digitalized scoreboard effect. The Nike Air Max 98 New York was released on January 1, 2019, for $160 retail.
