In an homage to one of Japan’s most celebrated baseball teams, the Yomiuri Giants – frequently likened to the New York Yankees due to their consistent championship wins and worldwide fame – Nike launches a unique edition of Air Max 90 shoes. Known as the crème de la crème in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), the Giants hold a special place in both Japanese baseball history and the esteem of sports enthusiasts worldwide.

As a gamer, I’d say these Air Max 90 “Tokyo” kicks embody the team’s iconic colors, with an eye-catching orange Swoosh and metallic Air Max logo adding contrast like a high score on my gaming screen. The baseball-inspired stitching on the heel gives a subtle shoutout to the sport, while “TYO” replaces the usual Nike branding, mimicking the Giants’ away jersey lettering. Premium nubuck and leather bring an upgraded look, and the rugged waffle outsole and “Bright Ceramic” midsole round off a design that’s as dynamic as my gaming sessions.
