Nike taps into early-2000s nostalgia with the return of the Air Max Moto, reimagined here as the Moto 2K in a bold “Cannon Green Haze” colourway. Originally built for daily runs, this retro runner now leans into lifestyle appeal without losing its performance roots.
The upper combines airy mesh in a vibrant green shade with metallic silver synthetic overlays that wrap across the midfoot and heel. Retro Nike branding sits on the tongue, side panel, and back tab, while a subtle ‘Y2K’ logo on the sockliner reinforces the early-2000s vibe. Despite the throwback aesthetic, it still feels current thanks to clean colour blocking and layered detailing.
Underfoot, things get serious. A thick slab of Cushlon foam spans the midsole, paired with a visible Max Air unit in the heel. This setup keeps the ride soft and smooth, with enough impact protection for long hours on your feet. A waffle-inspired rubber outsole offers reliable traction for everyday pavement wear, grounding the look in functionality.
The Moto 2K doesn’t overpromise. It brings comfort, heritage, and visual punch in equal measure. Whether you’re a fan of the original series or just looking to change up your rotation with something different, this one delivers. The “Cannon Green Haze” edition adds an energetic twist to the Y2K runner trend—and it’s more wearable than it first appears.
