The iconic "Neon" Air Max, a shoe celebrated for its vibrant aesthetic, has found a surprisingly perfect new home on the skate park!
Nike SB has taken the beloved "Neon" colorway, originally made famous by the Air Max 95, and masterfully applied it to their Ishod Air Max, also known as the Ishod 2. This isn't the first time Nike has brought the Air Max experience to skaters; they've previously offered skate-ready versions of the Air Max 95. However, this "Neon" Ishod skate shoe elevates the game with a remarkably clean and stylish execution.
But here's where it gets interesting: The Ishod's design lends itself beautifully to this iconic color scheme. The shoe's upper features a sophisticated layering of suede and mesh in subtle grey tones, complemented by understated black logos. And, of course, no "Neon" Nike shoe would be complete without those signature highlighter-yellow accents, which are strategically placed throughout the Ishod, adding that unmistakable pop of energy.
As a model within Nike's Air Max lineage, the Ishod skate shoe has a knack for drawing inspiration from its predecessors. Beyond the "Neon" iterations, we've seen the Ishod pay homage to the legendary "Silver Bullet" Air Max 97 and even sport classic Dunk color schemes and the coveted "coolest" Jordan outfits.
And this is the part most people miss: The versatility of the Air Max Ishod's design means it can truly pull off almost any look, proving its adaptability beyond just skateboarding. This "Neon" drop continues the stylish reign of the Air Max skate shoe, and it's now available at select skate shops for $115. It joins a larger "Neon" collection that includes other beloved models like the Air Max 90, Air Max Plus, and the original Air Max 95.
Nike's "Neon" lineup truly offers something for every Air Max enthusiast, even for those who prefer to shred. What do you think? Does the "Neon" Air Max look better on a skate shoe than its original Air Max 95 form? Let us know in the comments below!
