The return of the Air Max SNDR, formerly known as the Sunder, can be considered a reboot. 25 years after its release, the Nike Air Max SNDR is more current than ever.
Nike Air Max SNDR, Nike Sunder Max
The end of the millennium marked the end of a category, cross training, for which Nike had achieved great success. Multifunctional shoes designed to meet the demands of various sports in any environment, with an aesthetic that set them apart from other models. This was the Nike Sunder Max, the name given to a shoe released in 1999 that combined many of the trends of the time, with technology at the forefront.
The Nike Sunder was ahead of its time, with a Lycra upper, zip closure, TPU panels, visible Air-Sole units, and signature colour gradient. Nike was able to preserve them in their archives until their time had come. And the time has come.
What does 6453 mean on the Air Max SNDR?
The Air Max SNDR continues where its predecessors left off. With a striking design, a versatile style, and the well-known abundance of details. The inscription 6453, hidden under the zip, represents the numbers you must enter on an alphanumeric keypad to type Nike, as well as the last four digits of Nike office phone numbers. Steve Prefontaine, the athlete who forever defined Nike’s rebellious image, set a mile record of 3 minutes 54 seconds and 6 tenths.
Canyon Gold and Deep Ocean is just the first of the Air Max SNDR colorways, a return that is more of a reboot than a comeback. Now available at FOOTDISTRICT.
