The Nike Air Max 180 Dusty Cactus features a revolutionary 180 degree Air Max unit for comfort. The upper of this Nike Air Max 180 has a black mesh textile base overlaid with strips of black suede. A teal TPU heel counter provides rear foot stability and matches both the tongue tag and the Nike Air embroidered branding on the heel. The black polyurethane midsole provides cushioning, encloses the Air unit, and sports a teal frame around the Air unit. The black rubber sole with a modified waffle traction pattern includes pods of teal and translucent blue. Cream-colored hits add contrast to the design, with the side-panel Nike Swoosh, sock liner, tongue lining, and toe of the outsole providing these softer touches.
