Nike's London Underground Air Max Collection

04 Dec 2013



Imagine a Venn diagram of two circles. One contains sneaker heads, the other, appreciators of mass transport systems - people with a season pass to the London Transport Museum. Nestled in the overlapping cleft of these two quadrants is the new Nike x Roundel by London Underground Air Max collection.

They look really nice, if I didn't spend out already this month I would go for them. Bet there going to be around £135? Some extra pictures on the nike website.

That's an obsolete pattern though isn't it? The D stock, which is about to be withdrawn anyway, now has a green/blue pattern on the seats I think.

I am sorry for my limited help, and I do wish you the best of luck in trying to obtain a pair. If there is any other way I might be able to help, please let me know!

Have a wonderful day!

Similar to these, produced about a year ago (although these do use correct pattern moquette):

Not sure if Nike are being truthful there to you. I have heard on the grapevine they will be in selected stores around 14th december.

I'm still waiting for a version in either BR Trojan or Bounemouth Blue (aka blue/green check).

Nikes look like hideous plastic tat. If I was spending that sort of money I'd go for the AboveAndBelow with the real moquette - two pairs of some designs for the same price!

I kinda like the look of the AboveAndBelow trainers, but however don't feel too confident in how much grip the soles would give. [Pic] :roll:

the grip in some of my 7 pairs of nikes is not much better

:roll:I like the designs, unusual but I wouldn't wear them.

They'd be useful though for people putting their feet on the seats - camourflage. :neutral:

I've got the first bus trainers which they don't seem to do anymore, I don't wear them that much but I don't remember having any worries about slipping!

Might have a look at the NSE ones...

A friend of mine got the versions with the old District Line seat pattern on them - Very striking indeed!
