20 Aug 26, 3:54 PM•Brad Lengden

Warm afternoons and a fresh pair of Nikes? That really is our idea of a good time. Cling on to the final weeks of summer with these three Air Max-short combos that'll cover you for all occasions.

1.

Simple and smart

Shirting up doesn't have to be stuffy. Dressing down a crisp grey button-up with relaxed denim shorts and khaki/cream Air Max 90s is great for days when you want a look that's a little more premium, but still very much veers on the laid-back, casual side. Want to jazz it up a tad? Inject some monochrome pizzazz with this Vans checkerboard tote.

Stripes

If it ain't broke, why fix it? There's a reason striped tees have never gone out of fashion. We've opted for a simple, earthy palette, rounded off with a lovely pair of brown Air Max Motos and a vintage cap for a versatile look that works for any and all summer shindigs.

Laid-back sporty

For a clean, athletic aesthetic, mix classy soft neutrals up top with a bold pop of colour from the shorts. Finish it off with the heavy-hitting Nike Air Max TL 2.5 and low-profile sunnies, and you've got a comfort-first outfit that can be thrown together in minutes but looks the part all day long.
