As the community of stylish comfort creatures continues to search for that elusive blend of authentic performance heritage and contemporary lifestyle appeal, Nike’s unparalleled archive really shines. Once again, the Swoosh stands at the forefront of the “tech runner” movement, but what else would you expect from the brand that invented the “retro”?

HISTORY

–

Straight outta the 2000s is the Air Max Moto 2K. Originally called the Air Max Moto 6+, this performance running shoe line was prized for its mid-distance ability, its ample cushioning at the fore-foot, and Air Max bag at the heel.

Today, it’s a head turner with all the right ingredients; it features the original Cushlon-based midsole tooling system, its ample metallic properties, and breathable mesh-based upper for supreme airflow for those quick commutes.

In every sense but the name, the Air Max Moto 2K is a faithful re-issue of the original model. The launch colorways have also been updated to better suit the current color trends heavily favored by the lady sneaker heads.

In addition to the sharp metallic silver/black combination, Nike offers up a variety of catchy tones such as Cannon, Pink Spill, and Stadium Green. Clever color-blocking is applied to both the upper and midsole.

With its sculpted lines, strong color assortment, and performance-backed cushioning elements, the Air Max Moto 2K is poised to dominate. Six colorways are available right now exclusively for women for $135 here.
