The Nike Air Max 180 returns once again, this time with a seasonal twist. Dubbed “Light Khaki Psychic Blue,” this reworked version nods to its ‘90s legacy while sliding smoothly into the summer rotation. The mix of laid-back tones, smart retro cues, and serious Air tech makes this a low-key essential.
Launched back in 1991, the Air Max 180 introduced 180 degrees of visible Air cushioning—a bold design move that still holds weight today. That iconic Air unit is back, sitting loud in the heel and paired with a soft foam midsole. It’s cushioned, responsive, and built for everyday comfort.
Up top, the mesh base features a subtle grey-to-blue gradient. It’s cool without trying too hard. Khaki suede panels wrap the sides, eyestays, and heel, giving it a grounded look that matches the warmer weather. A black Swoosh slices through the upper, adding contrast without stealing the spotlight.
Branding details include “Air 180” on the tongue and a special “International Series” logo on the sockliner—tying this pair into Nike’s global Air Max narrative. On the bottom, thick waffle traction grips whatever’s underfoot, whether it’s pavement or pavement-that’s-been-baked-all-day-by-the-sun.
Whether you remember the OG or are just here for the big bubble vibes, the Air Max 180 “Light Khaki Psychic Blue” brings together retro tech and a modern palette. Expect this pair to hit Nike UK and selected retailers this season.
