The Nike Air Max 98 La Mezcla is a limited edition release from Nike's renowned On Air program—a competition in which local designers from cities like New York created their own interpretations of the iconic Air Max. Gabrielle Serrano's winning design for NYC aimed to capture the city's multiculturalism through color and raw, urban materials. The release debuted on April 13, 2019 , and immediately became a collector's item for fans of streetwear aesthetics and limited-edition drops. Aplug offers tried-and-true pairs from this iconic release.

The Air Max 98's signature wave-like upper profile is infused with a color gradient that ranges from dark tones through browns and beiges to white —a symbolic representation of the "mix" of skin tones (hence the name La Mezcla). The lower and mudguard are crafted from cracked, gray leather resembling concrete texture , referencing the "concrete jungle" concept. Bright green and blue accents are seen on the mini Swoosh and the fully visible Max Air unit. The upper's multi-layered panels create depth and movement, while the white midsole is accompanied by a blue-tinted Air unit along its entire length.

The Air Max 98 La Mezcla is a lifestyle shoe, perfect for everyday strolls and casual streetwear styling. It works well with both minimalist outfits with black or white elements, where it becomes a key color accessory, and in more experimental combinations that evoke an urban, multicultural aesthetic. Pair it with a wide-leg tracksuit, loose cargo cufflinks, or an oversized outerwear—any outfit will highlight the artistic nature of this colorway. Due to its limited edition and collector's nature, the edition quickly became unavailable, making it a sought-after item among sneaker enthusiasts.

What makes the Nike Air Max 98 La Mezcla stand out?

• An ombre gradient from dark tones to white —a symbolic celebration of multiculturalism and a visually captivating color scheme that transcends traditional limited edition palettes.
• Cracked grey mudguard leather - the texture evokes urban concrete, adding authenticity to the "concrete jungle" concept and ensuring durability in harsh conditions.
• The fully visible Max Air unit in a blue tint not only stands out aesthetically against the white sole, but also provides real cushioning and a soft underfoot feel for everyday wear.
• Multi-Layer Upper Construction – The Air Max 98's signature wave-like panels create depth, movement and structure while dispersing pressure and enhancing ventilation.
• Bright accents in green and blue – the mini Swoosh and accessories in these tones create contrast against the neutral base and add energy to the entire silhouette.
• Textile interior finish – ensures comfort during prolonged wear and a breathable environment for the foot, without skin irritation even after several hours.
• Limited Edition On Air Design – Each pair is from an officially limited run of Nike: On Air, enhancing collectibility and ensuring authenticity.

How to choose the size of Nike Air Max 98 La Mezcla?

The Nike Air Max 98 La Mezcla fits true to size (TTS) —a standard size will fit most people. If you have a narrower foot, you can safely go for the TTS. For wider feet, or if you plan on wearing regular socks for long periods, consider sizing up half a size (+0.5) for a comfortable fit. The inner textile lining doesn't offer much stretch, and the wavy upper construction can be stiff at first, so it's better to size up slightly than be limited by a shoe that's too narrow.
