Explore the inspiration and process behind this piece.
The Nike Air Max 90 has been one of the most studied silhouettes in sneaker history — Tinker Hatfield's 1990 design with its visible Air unit in the heel, its bold colour-blocking, its technical and aesthetic logic that established a template others still follow. Air Max 90 "Distorted" doesn't replicate that form — it distorts it, rebuilding the AM90 silhouette from circuit boards, data cables, wire, leather, computer chips, and clear tubing, transforming the shoe's clean lines into a sculptural reckoning with the electronic materials that now define daily life.
The clear tubing is a particularly deliberate choice — an echo of the transparent Air unit that made the original revolutionary.
Materials: Circuit boards; data cables; wire; leather; computer chips; clear tubing; upcycled components
Dimensions: 8"H × 5.25"W × 11.25"D — Men's 10.0 shoe size
Edition: Limited Edition 1 of 1 — signed with certificate of authenticity
