Nike Air Max 180 "Bluebird" FJ9259-102

The Nike Air Max 180 “Bluebird” storms back onto the scene, bringing fresh energy and a heavy dose of early ’90s nostalgia. This silhouette holds legendary status in the Air Max family, remembered for pushing design boundaries when it first dropped in 1991. Now, for the first time in years, Nike pulls it back from the archives and delivers a colourway that’s bound to stir memories: White, Medium Blue, and Clear Jade, wrapped up in the unmistakable “Bluebird” look.

Nike sticks close to the original blueprint, building the upper with crisp white nylon and creamy off-white suede. Periwinkle blue accents light up the Swoosh, lining, and tongue piping, while Clear Jade hits on the heel counter, tongue logo, and signature 180-degree Air unit inject vibrant contrast. That heel wrap doesn’t just look sharp — it houses the full-length Air cushioning that helped set the 180 apart when it first launched.

This release isn’t about reinventing the silhouette; it’s about celebrating the details that made it iconic. With era-accurate construction and colour blocking that still feels fresh today, the Air Max 180 “Bluebird” captures the essence of retro runners. For Air Max collectors and newcomers alike, it lands as a striking reminder of Nike’s design history — and why the 180 remains a fan favourite.
