If you’ve never seen or heard of the Nike Air Edge 270 before, it’s a new lifestyle model from Nike Sportswear which combines elements from previous retro basketball models to create something modern. Now it is set to release in a new outdoor-ready colorway. This retro silhouette comes with three velcro straps used into its lacing system. The upper gives off a look that’s unquestionably reminiscent of the Air Max 2 CB 94. However, the midsole and outsole then feature an ethos that’s more modern-day: sleek and somewhat simple, with a large visible cushioning unit appearing on the heel. Pops of color are also seen on the shoe with the inclusion of bright orange and neon green.
Check out the official photos below, and look for this Air Edge 270 to release very soon at select retailers and nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $160 USD.
