Nike’s Ruggedized Air Max Is a Military-Minded Gem

Fashion or function? Sneakers used to be one or the other. These days, they look as good as they perform. Nike's Air Max Moto 2K Cordura sneaker is the perfect example.

The latest iteration comes in this "Medium Ash" colorway, giving the model a dark brown look with teal blue splashes. It looks very good, to say the least. Then, Nike has also added Cordura fabric, making the model as strong and durable as military uniforms and hiking gear.

So now, it's not only stylish but practically ready for battle.

I wouldn't necessarily take them on the battlefield, but they sound like a great sneaker for casual errands. And if a situation that requires some military muscle comes up, it's good to know that the Cordura has your back (and feet).

Nike's Air Max Moto 2K Cordura is also available in an all-grey colorway. But if you're looking for the "Medium Ash" pairs, they're now available on Nike Saudi Arabia's website for SAR 899.00, or around $240.
