Even though Nike's focus is mainly on the future, fortunately they do not forget their rich history. The Air Structure Triax model is making a comeback. This is mainly due to the fact that the silhouette is allowed to blow out 30 candles in 2021. The Nike Air Structure Triax model will appear in 'Persian' colour palette.

The Air Structure Triax was the first sneaker in Nike's Structure series. This series was a line of running shoes designed to provide stability for runners whose foot tilts excessively, or tilts at a time when it should not. What mainly drew attention to this sneaker were the two-tone colour combinations. This was quite rare at the time. Also the Air cushioning was striking, because it looked different from other visible Air Units.

In 2007 the sneaker made a comeback and there were several re-releases until the end of 2010. However, the comeback did not go as well as expected. It was criticized for the weak toebox. Often the toebox tore due to wear and tear. Unfortunately the silhouette was not as popular as other Air Max sneakers from the same period. Fortunately the sneaker is now making its comeback in a delicious 'Persian' colorway.

The first colorway we see is the new 'Persian' colorway. It is a colorway that reminds us a bit of the 'Persian Violet' colorway that appeared on the Air Max BW. The top of the Air Structure Triax is composed of mesh material in a white colour, while contrasting overlays of black nubuck and leather take over the middle foot. Furthermore, the branding on the upper is incorporated in a purple colour, like the Swoosh and Nike Air branding on the back.

The eyestays are also coloured purple. As soon as we descend to the sole on which the upper is located we see contrasting colours again. The midsole colours mainly black and white, while the inside around the Air damping is purple. Under the midsole there is a black rubber outsole to complete the sneaker's look.

An official release date for the Air Structure Triax 'Persian' has not yet been announced by Nike. However, official images have already been released. Scroll down to view the images and keep an eye on the Sneakerjagers release calendar for the latest sneaker news.
