I’m sorry, but Nike has dropped the ball on this Nike “Flywire” Air Max 90 Current. The upper is done in a one piece style with “Flywire” material slapped on the top of black uppers. It is coupled with white midsoles and blue accents. Regardless, these shoes are ugly, but everyone has their own opinions. August is the scheduled release month.
