What to know
ClosetKept AI- Nike Air Max Metro features breathable mesh upper with layered construction.
- Full Air cushioning extends from heel to toe with chunky sole design.
- Releasing in three colorways: blue, grey, and Pale Ivory.

A new Nike Air Max sneaker has entered the chat, essentially bringing Nike's famous technology to the city concrete.
Its name is the Air Max Metro, and it's basically a street-ready sneaker built like its most classic running shoes. It features a well-layered upper with breathable mesh touches. It looks to be extremely comfortable, featuring chunky soles with full Air cushioning from heel to toe. Nice.
What's more, Nike has dressed in the shoe in colorways worthy flexing, like blue, grey, and the "Pale Ivory" (pictured above).
To be quite honest, the Metro is almost like Nike's breakdancing Jam shoe mashed with the Air Max 200, with sprinkles of other Air-supported models. The Metro has a bit more modern-day swagger, that's all.
Meanwhile, Nike continues to dust off classics like Air Max Dolce and Air Max 2001, now returning as not only a Supreme sneaker but the Air Max 2001 Ecstasy.
But for those looking for something fresh, the new Air Max Metro sneaker is expected to drop on Nike's website in October in its three colorways.
