The iconic Air Max 90 shoe has been redesigned time and time again since its inception as the Air Max 3 in 1990. The latest? Tthree styles representing three cities; Glasgow, Manchester and London in collaboration with creative collective Basement.

Each style has a release date set throughout this month with the first – the Glasgow – launching on October 5. The shoe features deep grey hues with a plush leather orange tongue and a reflective Swoosh.

This detail and the heel tab take inspiration from the traffic cone on the Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow's city centre.
