The Nike Air Max 90 Jacquard has an engineered one-piece poly weave upper made using the rigorous, age-old process of loomed Jacquard material. With contours characterized by pattern breaks that emulate the panels created by conventional construction, the shoe’s signature Swoosh and eye-row overlay panels are applied with a no-sew technique that uses heat and pressure for adhesion.
The Nike x Roundel by London Underground Air Max collection uses a set of groundbreaking urban icons: Nike’s Air Max shoe and the London Tube – the world’s first underground railway– as inspiration for two striking new shoes with Nike’s engineered woven Jacquard.
The Nike x Roundel by London Underground collection represents the diverse and unique style that is synonymous with the city of London. Drawing on the very fabric of London, this collection features a vibrant pattern that takes inspiration from the famously bold seat upholstery found in the railway’s cars.
Traditionally made from moquette (a hardwearing wool and polyester mix), the specially commissioned District geometric pattern was created by famed designer Misha Black and launched in 1978 for new trains on the District Line.
Becoming a familiar sight for the city’s tube and bus commuters during the 1980s, the District design is a moquette that defined the debut years of the Nike Air Max for generations of Londoners.
Through a sophisticated weaving process the abstract fabric reproduced using woven polyester, debuts the Jacquard innovation and wraps both the Nike Air Max 1 and Air Max 90. This engineered one-piece woven updates the fit and feel of the classic Nike Air Max silhouettes, without compromising the expression of the iconic lines traditionally achieved through cut-and-sew methods.
This was released to mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground.
More information about these here - http://nikeinc.com/news/nike-x-roundel-by-london-underground-air-max-collection. On a side note, this is probably the best made Nikes I have handled in a while.
This is a UK 6 US6.5
Never worn, brand new with box and comes with the Nike 1948 bag. Pretty much sold everywhere.
Free shipping WORLDWIDE. All I ask is you cover paypal fees.
Any questions please ask.
