Running silhouettes seem to hit a high point in popularity about this time of year. Fittingly, Nike is bringing two new colorways of the Air Classic BW for the summer.

The Nike Air Classic BW originally dropped in 1991, one of the earliest models to receive the “Big Window” Air Unit in the heel. Many timeless colorways made their way onto the Classic BW over time. This time around a grey, red, and black combination is accompanied by a grey and orange makeup. Two simple colorups that should fit well into many collections.

A lot of us have been eying this classic since it appeared on the web months ago. Now the wait is over as the Persian Violet Air Classic BW has made its way onto retail shelves at places like Vault.

Nike Air Classic BW Persian Violet is a timeless OG colorway for running heads. The re-release of this colorway will give many of you an opportunity to replace those crumbling Classics in the closet with a fresh new pair. As can be expected the Air Classic BW gets a perfect mix of materials, and of course the comfort of an exaggerated Air unit in the sole.

The Air Classic BW Persian Violet retro contains a plethora of materials including the ever-so-present mesh design. The most interesting feature is the off-white vintage design applied to the midsole. This Nike Air Classic BW Persian Violet can now be purchased at Kix-Files. More detailed photos after the jump.
