Nike Air Mission ‘True Royal’

Nike Air Mission - 'True Royal' (1)

words // Brandon Richard

This weekend marks the return of the Nike Air Mission, a turf trainer mostly known for being worn by late great San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau in 1994.

The classic arrives holding true to its mid-90s Nike trainer design language — synthetic overlays and a cross-strap system for support, visible Air cushioning and a chunky sole with unique traction. This white-based style with black and royal accents was part of the original lineup and may be the model’s most well-known colorway.

These casual Nike training shoes will release here for $120 this Saturday, December 7 at 8:00 a.m. EST / 7:00 a.m. CST. Follow @Eastbay on Twitter and @OfficialEastbay on Instagram for all release information and updates.
