The Nike Air Max 90 The Basement Glasgow is rather fittingly encapsulated by the tagline ‘Real People Doing Real Things’, a sentiment that echoes through the shoe's overall design, and larger vision. Launching as part of Nike's ‘City Pack’ this kick takes inspiration from the Scottish city of Glasgow. Utilising the time-honoured classic Air Max 90 silhouette as a canvas, this sneaker sports water-resistant upper, heavyweight ripstop portions and supple leather on the tongue. The upper is dressed in grey tones, further contrasted by the design's finer detailing that arrives in bright hits of orange on the tongue and heel tab, meant to signify the hard-to-explain tradition of placing a traffic cone on the head of the Duke of Wellington statue in the heart of Glasgow's city centre.
