Take an Official Look At Olaolu Slawn’s Nike Air Max 90 Collaboration

by

As a gamer, I’d say: “Ever since my move from Nigeria to London in 2017, I’ve been making waves in the art world. My unique style, characterized by caricature pop figures, vibrant colors, and distinct shapes, has grabbed attention. My work tackles deep topics like psychology, race, politics, and life as a member of an ethnic minority community. This loyal fanbase I’ve built has opened up incredible opportunities for me, enabling me to represent the places and experiences that have shaped me.

Currently, Slawn is embarking on a new venture: teaming up with Nike to design two innovative Air Max 90 models. This partnership blends the timeless AM90 shape with Slawn’s forward-thinking artwork, resulting in two distinct colorways – black and white – that showcase a splatter pattern reminiscent of his gritty, graffiti-inspired style. This collaboration serves as a testament to how Slawn’s creativity transcends from his studio out onto the streets of London.

Furthermore, these sneakers feature Slawn’s distinctive “cartoonish” characters on them, and a bold stare is etched onto the heel cap. This design element is also incorporated into the heel cap and spread across the leather upper. Lastly, the sneakers are marked by the signature Air Bubble of the Air Max 90.

Feel free to check out the latest collaboration between Olaolu Slawn and Nike Air Max 90, depicted here. The shoe will make its debut at a London pop-up shop starting March 1st, with online availability set for April 4th on the Nike website.
