The chunky but sleek Nike Air Max Portal has received a welcoming reception since its introduction earlier this year. Designed specifically for women, the retro-inspired model combines early 2000s style with fresh, modern elements for a unique blend of nostalgic and contemporary appeal. The look has caught not only the eye of the ladies, but guys as well.
The latest drop is sure to have a few guys trying to squeeze into a pair as it sports a vibrant “Sunset” gradient that may just be the best look we’ve seen yet. With a gradient that transitions from orange to red, the quilted mesh upper bursts to life, enhancing the sneaker’s bold design and capturing the glow of a warm summer sunset. Black ballistic mesh serves as a mudgard and extends up the back of the heel and is seen again to construct the tongue. This color palette might be something we’re more typical to see during the warmer months than Fall, but is there ever a bad season for a colorful gradient finish like this on an Air Max sneaker?
