Overshadowed upon its 1998 debut between the Air Max 97 and TN Air Max Plus, Sergio Lozano’s Air Max 98 design languished unsung for over 15 years. Its synthetic leather and bulky build paled next to the AM97’s smoother allure and AM95 throwback hype.

By the time the TN debuted later that year, the 98 felt forgotten, its Tuned innovation going unsung. Not until 2014’s “Team Orange” retro did acclaim develop, accelerated by 2016’s coveted Supreme collaboration. Come the silhouette’s 20th Anniversary in 2018, the 98 finally claimed the spotlight with “Gundam” and “Tour Yellow” retros stealing the show.
No longer the under-appreciated middle child, today the AM98 stands exalted among icons, its unconventional build fuelling demand the AM line core deserves.
