With past releases slowly implementing their diligent R&D, these forthcoming Summer pairs demonstrate beautiful, new ways to approach color, construction and material innovation. Inspired by alternative ways to make color, the Nike Plant Color Collection opts for a pastel assortment of plant-based dyes with the the Air Max 95 and Blzaer Low standing as their canvas. The Nike Flyleather Earth Day Pack makes use of their most sustainable material yet, Flyleather, utilizing its recycled fiber with reckless abandon along the silhouettes. The Nike Air Vapormax 2.0 Random uses excess Flyknit yarn (that would have otherwise gone to a landfill) to create a one-of-a-kind shoe.
Launch dates for each range are spread across the entirety of the Summer 2019 season, so keep it locked in for their arrival on nike.com in the months ahead.
