From the famed fields of Old Trafford to sneaker aisles worldwide, Marcus Rashford's journey has been nothing short of inspirational. Starting his career with Manchester United's youth squad at the tender age of 8 in 2005, Rashford’s ascent in football has been meteoric. His unwavering loyalty to the Red Devils, recently reinforced with a contract extension until 2028, mirrors a similar commitment to Nike. Having inked a deal with The Swoosh at just 11, Rashford's longstanding relationship with the Swoosh is now commemorated with the release of the Nike Air Max Pulse.
First launched on Air Max Day 2023, the Air Max Pulse marries elements from the beloved Air Max 270, blending modern and nostalgic upper designs. Rashford’s interpretation of this silhouette stands out with its engineered mesh base, adorned with a linear pattern. This intricate design is juxtaposed against a pristine white leather section on the lower half. Rashford's personal "MR" branding is prominently featured on the tongue and insole. But it's not just about aesthetics; Rashford's ethos shines through with the quote, "When you believe in yourself, incredible things can happen," finely printed beneath his logo on the insole. The black lace set and tongue, paired with a matching sockliner, enhance the sneaker's contrast, while a grey-hued TPU heel counter adds depth. Rounding off the design is a foam and mesh midsole, boasting a collaborative Nike and Marcus Rashford-branded Air unit at the heel, sitting atop a white and grey rubber outsole.
The Marcus Rashford x Nike Air Max Pulse will release November 2023 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $160.
