Nike keeps impressing with their vault of sneaker classics, that they can pull out at any time, and revamp the silhouette. We get them all the time, and that reminds sneaker fans that no sneaker is truly forgotten. The Nike Air Structure Triax 91 will be returning to the sneaker market again. The "structure" line still continues to this day, all the way back to the early 90s.
The Nike Air Zoom structure did depart from the nineties era look with its recent 2013 mesh frame work. Perhaps to make the oldie more appealing. Nike stripped down the "fat" for a skinnier and smoother edition.
The revamped Triax 91 is shinier with a gold and navy blue colorway. Also there are a number of colors that will be available for the model. This release may revive the Nike Air Structure Triax 91, which could mean more follow up models and colorways.
Let's take a look at the official images. Even though there's an even balance in colors with white, gold, grey and blue appearing in seemingly equal dosages, the gold outshines the lot.
The gold shines on the swoosh at the lateral, heel, tongue, although visually less so on the top most eye stays. The other colors act as complimentary partners, notably with the blue and grey bordering the air unit, emphasizing the display.
The Nike Air Structure Triax 91 will be available sometime next year.
