The Toronto Raptors are enjoying their finest season as an organization, one that’s culminated in a trip to the NBA Finals, and by either impeccable timing, fortuitous foresight, or just good old coincidence, a Nike Air Max 90 with a Raptors-esque palette has appeared just in time for tip-off. Pops of purple and red appear all over the white and black base, with the former appearing on the eyelets, midfoot, and heel, while the latter joins in on the eyelets, christens the midfoot Swoosh, and also provides contrast on the midsole and Air Max cushioning unit. A large black mudguard then seemingly splits the shoe in half, adding further to the layered look. You can expect these Nike shoes to release at the retailers listed below in the coming weeks for $110 USD, and be sure to tune into the Finals to see if Kawhi Leonard and the Raps can topple Steph Curry and the mighty Golden State Warriors.
