Nike Air Max 98/BV6649-708/ Wheat/Metallic Gold-Black

Key Specifications:

A highly detailed, maximalist sneaker released in early 2019 to celebrate the "year of the Pig". This special edition model is part of a celebratory pack that incorporates a "What The" style medley of materials and patterns from previous Chinese New Year collections.

Design Highlights:

Multi-Material Upper: The complex construction features a mix of six distinct materials, including pony hair, snakeskin overlays, patent leather, and traditional textiles.

Symbolic Patterns: Adorned with a Bai Jia Yi quilted pattern on the exterior, paying homage to traditional Chinese patchwork.

Metallic Accents: Vibrant Metallic Gold details appear along the vamp and on the signature full-length Max Air unit, providing both a luxury aesthetic and responsive cushioning.

Distinctive Branding: Features a Gold Swoosh on the red patent leather vamp, while the medial side displays a stitched-outline Swoosh.

Special Outsole: The black rubber outsole is uniquely underscored with a "prayer hands" graphic, adding a contemporary and celebratory finishing touch.

Style Code: BV6649-708.

Colourway: Wheat / Metallic Gold / University Red / Black.

Release Date: February 2019 (dates vary slightly by region between January and March)

Department: Men's

Usage & Style:

Aesthetics: Widely praised by collectors for its bold, "anything but minimal" design and the masterful way it combines high-contrast textures.

Comfort: Like standard Air Max 98 models, users find these to be visually appealing and comfortable for lifestyle wear, though the bulky build makes them less ideal for performance running compared to modern silhouettes.
