So far in its renewed life, it’s fair to say the Nike Air Max Sunder hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire. However, the chance moments where the Alpha Project product has caught real traction has often been when it’s taken its biggest swings, changing form for limited editions like the Air Max Sunder “Obscura” or the Kids of Immigrants Air Max Sunder collab. Those previous steps are an encouraging sign for the shoe at hand, as the Nike Air Max Sunder dips into “Realtree Camo.”
The patented hyperrealistic patterning is already in the zeitgeist once again as another step in the “Realtree” Air Force 1 narrative looms for October. Perhaps the shoe at hand serves as another piece in a wider collection coming this Fall, faithfully adopting branches, laves, and the brand’s logo on its exterior synthetic shell. That woodsy, hunting-approved theme continues through the rest of the shoe, most impactful with a brown leather mudguard and hi-vis orange pull-tabs and branding hits.
