The Slawn x Nike Air Max 90 “White Speckle” marks a groundbreaking debut collaboration between British-Nigerian artist Olaolu Slawn and Nike, showcasing the artist’s unique creative vision. Following his success as a co-founder of the Nigerian streetwear brand Motherlan, which gained recognition from Virgil Abloh, Slawn continues to make his mark with this meticulously crafted Air Max 90.
The shoe features a sleek sail leather upper, with an innovative mudguard design that wraps from heel to toe. Subtle white speckles adorn the front sections, nodding to Slawn’s expertise in spray painting. The crisp white Swoosh is enhanced with carved textures, creating a harmonious blend across the quarter and collar. A touch of metallic gold on the eyelets introduces an opulent contrast to the neutral palette, while a debossed label on the padded tongue and embossed logo on the rear’s rubber overlay further enhance the refined design.
The polyurethane midsole houses a TPU foam column, offering visible Air cushioning for exceptional comfort and support. Waffle treads on the outsole ensure traction and flexibility with every step. A minimalist, luxurious twist is evident in every detail, from the stone-like textures on the quarter panels to the playful paint splatter on the forefoot of the midsole. The embossed Nike Air logo on the heel completes the modern, streamlined aesthetic.
