Officially slated for a July 7 launch, the eagerly awaited Nike Air Max BW Olympic appears to be arriving at retailers a little early. Like, now.
Originally released back in 1996, a celebration of the then-underway Atlanta Olympics, the shoe pairs black and navy on the leather-and-mesh upper, with vibrant pops of red, white and gold cementing the “USA” and gold medal motifs. It’s truly one of the great Air Max BWs of all time, itself a cult classic if slightly underappreciated silhouette.
Barring unforeseen changes — such as this early launch being a mistake on the store’s part — you can pick up the Nike Air Max BW Olympic now at spots like Rock City Kicks. Retail’s $120. Expect online availability to remain slated for 7/7.
