London, UK-based music imprint Apron Records is collaborating with Nike to reimagine the iconic Air 180. Known for blending music and streetwear, the collaboration promises to deliver a bold design that infuses  Apron Records ' distinctive aesthetic. The sneaker features a "Dark Atomic Teal" upper made from a mix of premium leather and shaggy suede that gives it a moss-like texture. A standout element is the razor blade lace dubrae, a bold nod to Apron Records' raw and unapologetic ethos. The black faux croc heel, resembling snakeskin and embossed with a co-branded Apron logo, adds an edgy touch. To enhance its retro look, the sneaker includes embroidered yellow 180 branding, a cow-print Swoosh, and an aged yellow-tinted Air unit. The Apron Records x Nike Air Max 180 "Vortex" sneaker is expected to drop on March 8 via  Nike SNKRS and Apron Records for £135 GBP (approximately $150 USD).
