The Nike Air Max 98, released in 1998 and designed by Sergio Lozano, built upon the legacy of its predecessor with bold, multi-layered paneling and a full-length Air unit. Known for its complex construction and dynamic color blocking, it reflected the experimental design language of the late ’90s.
Initially overshadowed by other models, the Air Max 98 gained cult status over time, particularly through collaborations and reissues. The “Gundam” and “Tour Yellow” editions remain among the most sought-after versions.
The Air Max 98 represents Nike’s daring era of design—unapologetically bold, detailed, and built to stand out.
