The Slawn x Nike Air Max 90 “Sail” is more than a rework—it’s a statement from one of the UK’s most exciting young creatives. Olaolu Slawn, known for his bold art and design work, continues his Nike collaboration with this stripped-back but detail-packed version of the Air Max 90.
Dressed in a soft sail and white mix, this pair leans into subtlety. Speckled details across the upper hint at Slawn’s spray-paint background, adding character without shouting for attention. The carved Swoosh blends into the upper with a sculpted look, while the updated mudguard gives the shape a sleeker edge from heel to toe.
Up top, metallic gold eyelets break the neutral palette with just enough shine. A debossed label sits on the padded tongue, balancing nicely with the embossed Nike Air logo on the heel. Materials are mixed—real and synthetic leather work together across the panels, giving it texture without losing that clean, wearable finish.
It’s still the Air Max 90 at its core. A polyurethane midsole holds that classic visible Air unit for day-long comfort. Underfoot, you’ll get a grippy Waffle outsole that keeps things steady. It walks the line between art piece and daily pair with ease.
