Nike Air Max Joga Bonito Neon: Where to Buy Now
At first glance, the Nike Air Max Joga Bonito "Neon" looks like a sneaker borrowing from the Air Max 95 color story. But this pair goes a step further.
The upper pulls from Ronaldo's Mercurial R9, while the midsole comes from the Air Max 95. Add the grey layers and yellow details, and you get two very different parts of Nike history meeting in one shoe.
