Cut it Up With the Nike Air Max 98 LX Tear Away

At first glance, the NIKE AIR MAX 98 LX might look like a clean, simple triple-white edition of the popular retro design, but look a little closer…

First up, let’s talk about the Air Max 98: taking the same sole unit as the previous year’s Air Max 97, the 98 seemed to have a slow, cautious launch. But the 98 turned out to be a slow burner, gaining a loyal group of fans – a group that continues to grow following the recent retro. The bold canvas uppers feature details such as lace loops and ribbed sidewalls to emphasize the sturdy structure. But this special version features scissor marks and dotted lines as graphic elements to encourage the wearer to cut into the shoe’s sections in order to reveal the colours underneath. For those of you who need some guidance, Nike have you covered with a set of directions printed on the packaging and insoles.
