Nike brings back a legend with the Air Max 180 “Light Orewood Brown Sundial”, blending retro appeal with modern updates. Originally launched in 1991, this iconic silhouette was the first to showcase 180 degrees of visible Air cushioning, bonding the outsole directly to the Air unit—a groundbreaking design that put Nike’s tech literally underfoot. Now, over three decades later, it returns with refreshed materials and a striking new colourway.
This edition mixes earthy tones and bold accents for a balanced, versatile look. A Light Orewood Brown base sets a natural foundation, while breathable mesh and soft suede overlays ensure comfort and durability. Vibrant hits of Sundial orange on the liner and heel bring an unexpected pop of colour, while the sleek black Swoosh adds sharp contrast to round out the design.
Nike adds a rugged twist with a dark brown midsole and outsole, inspired by its ACG (All Conditions Gear) heritage. Whether you’re strolling through city streets or exploring nature trails, the shoe holds up with its sturdy build and supportive cushioning. The lightweight design makes it an easy choice for everyday wear, while the durable construction ensures it stands up to different terrains.
The Air Max 180 doesn’t just look good—it delivers comfort with every step. The visible Air unit still offers the same bounce and cushioning that made the original a fan favourite. Meanwhile, the blend of suede, mesh, and durable rubber keeps the shoe breathable and adaptable.
With its mix of retro charm and modern flair, the Nike Air Max 180 “Light Orewood Brown Sundial” brings back everything people loved about the original while updating it for today’s sneakerheads. This release will drop soon, so stay tuned if you’re looking to add a true classic to your collection.
