Nike Air Max Lunar 90 & Jacquard Just Released

by Ken Jenie

 

New additions to the Nike Airmax family have been announced and released in Indonesia. The Air Max 90 is a familiar silhouette to any casual sneaker aficionado, and this spring 2014 marks the 90s latest innovations: The Air Max Lunar 90 and the Air Max Jacquard.

As you can probably infer from its name, the Air Max Lunar 90 combines two of Nike’s cushioning: the Air Max and Lunarlon. As someone who has experience wearing both technologies, I will be curious as to how the combination of the Lunarlon’s rubbery-soft cushioning and the Air Max 90s springy ‘air bubble’ will fair, but my guess is it’s a comfortable combination. The innovation, of course, doesn’t stop at the soles. Also included in the Air Max Lunar 90 are flexible uppers and a compression-molded collar.

The Air Max Jacquard brings an age-old weaving process (since the 1800s, according to Nike’s press release) into its 2014 sneaker. As you can assume from the photographs, the Jacquard weave’s texture gives adds breathability and flexibility, enhancing the Air Max 90’s features (plus, the weaving texture looks pretty good IMO).

As of this article’s date the Air Max Lunar 90 is available Indonesia-wide Nike Stores, while the Jacquard is available in select Jakarta retailers.whiteboardjournal, logo
