The Nike Air Max 90 Slawn Sail is Breeżyk's first collaboration with British-Nigerian artist Olaolu Slawn—a collaboration that fuses street art aesthetics with the iconic Air Max 90 silhouette designed by Tinker Hatfield. The project debuted on March 1, 2025, at a pop-up in London, and its global release took place on April 4, 2025. This collaboration sneaker was created for collectors and street art fans who seek a product that combines high-quality everyday comfort with an authentic artistic signature. At Aplug, you can find authentic pairs with proven authenticity, perfect for adding to your streetwear rotation.

The model was developed around a monochromatic, cream-and-sail color scheme, where the main attraction is details that nod to the artist's work. The Sail/White-Sail upper combines molded, almost sculpted, textured leather with a subtle, splattered paint-speckle effect on the forefoot and midsole—as if the shoes still carry the scent of the creative studio. A contrasting textured Swoosh and gold metal upper eyelets add a luxurious touch, while the heel counter replaces the standard "Nike Air" with the signature "Ugly Bastard"—a direct reference to Slawn's work. A visible Air Max unit in the heel and an embossed AIR MAX emblem on the lateral side maintain the classic silhouette, recognizable from the '90s, while the softly padded collar and precise stitching emphasize the handmade character of the entire design.

These sneakers are a classic choice for a lifestyle monochromatic mix—they pair perfectly with raw denim, wide-leg cargo pants, or beige oversized coats. The Sail's neutral tone lends itself to pairing with more tailored, minimalist outfits, but they also work well in thicker, textured combinations, where the shoe's color provides a calming backdrop for more expressive uppers. For collectors: keep the original laces and box—these are key elements that protect the value of this limited-release. Avoid prolonged contact with mud and harsh detergents; cleaning with a soft brush and damp cloth is sufficient maintenance.

What makes the Nike Air Max 90 Slawn Sail special?

• Molded, textured leather – a material with a distinct, handcrafted character provides resistance to changing weather conditions and adds a premium, artistic touch to the entire silhouette.
• The paint-speckle splatter effect —delicate, diffused speckles on the forefoot and midsole—is an authentic nod to Slawn's street art practice; each pair carries a piece of the artistic process.
• Gold metal eyelets - the upper lacing eyelets in gold add luxury and constitute a clear contrast to the cream tone of the upper, increasing the aesthetic value of the model.
• The original "Ugly Bastard" inscription on the heel - instead of the standard Nike branding, a direct signal of the collaboration with Slawn appears, making each pair a collector's artifact.
• Visible Air Max heel unit – This distinctive system absorbs impact and creates a distinct air-pocket look, a combination of comfort and visual appeal that defined the Air Max 90 in the '90s.
• Foam Midsole (Phylon/EVA) – Provides essential cushioning and support underfoot, while remaining lightweight and responsive for everyday wear.
• Rubber Waffle Outsole - Traditional design offers solid traction in urban conditions and natural durability without the need for constant regeneration.
• A softly padded collar and precise stitching – these details demonstrate careful craftsmanship and ensure all-day comfort without chafing, even without thick socks.

How to choose the size of the Nike Air Max 90 Slawn Sail?

The Nike Air Max 90 Slawn Sail fits true to size —those with average-sized feet shouldn't need to make any adjustments. However, if you have wider feet or plan to wear thicker winter socks, consider sizing up half a size due to the construction and soft lining, which doesn't offer significant stretch. There's no need to size down—the shoes won't shrink with wear or washing.
