Name: Kids of Immigrants x Nike Air Max Sunder “Persian Violet” and “Sundial” Colorway: Persian Violet/Sundial and Sundial/Persian Violet SKU: HF3286-500 and HF3286-700 MSRP: $190 USD Release Date: November 21 Where to Buy: Nike Kids of Immigrants has quickly grown as a multi-faceted brand that brings stories to life via special projects. Having teamed up with Vans in the past, the Los Angeles-based label has continued working on footwear by now teaming up with Nike to present the Air Max Sunder in two vaporwave-esque colorways. First discussed during an appearance in the last SNKRS Showcase during Paris Fashion Week, the Kids of Immigrants x Nike Air Max Sunder takes the popular silhouette and equips it with a revamped upper that sees gridlines spread across it.
The toe portion of the mudguard has been maintained, albeit without the typical geometry present, as well as the model’s signature zipper that hides the lacing system. “Persian Violet” sees bright purple at the collar turn to a darker hue as it approaches the midsole while the “Sundial” colorway mimics this approach but in orange. Both pairs feature a brown mudguard and black at both the heel and the sole unit, which notably features a blue finish with black specks at the midfoot.
Final touches to both pairs include “KIDS OF IMMIGRANTS” text across the left and right shoes’ outsoles, a “JUST DO IT. TOGETHER.” callout at the co-branded sockliners and a special box with branding from the duo.
