Nike Reveals Team Nigeria Inspired “Naija” Air Max 95 and Air Presto

Following the announcement of the debut “Naija” Green colorway of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Nike Air Zoom Freak 2, Nike has revealed plans for a larger “Naija” capsule this year inspired by the Nigerian football team’s uniforms. The Nike designed uniforms for Nigeria’s team uniforms during the 2018 world cup were huge sportswear hits worldwide and that success seems destined to repeat with Nike’s 2020-2021 football collection. To coincide with the fan-favorite design Nike has revealed a “Naija” Air Max 95 and matching Air Presto.

The AM95 places different portions of the Nigerian uniform’s intricate patterning on each panel of the upper’s four woven, wave-shaped segments. Sitting atop the black and green toned patterning is some light green mesh by the patterned lacestays. A black tongue, laces, midsole, and suede toebox quietly complement the loud upper and bring your eyes’ focus to the detailed pattern work. The Prestos use a portion of this design on the mesh upper and another for the tongue and ankle and use semi-transparent green plastic for the caging and dark green on laces. Similar to the AM95s these Prestos have a black midsole but feature an extra touch of white on the outsole and a bright green Swoosh across the lateral side as a final nod to the iconic jerseys. Release dates have not been confirmed for either pair but are expected to release in the coming weeks.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
