Launched in 1998, the Air Max 98 featured the same Air unit as its predecessor, the AM97, but remixed it with a newly designed upper. The March 2019 released Air Max 98 Premium 'Leopard Pack' sneaker updates the original with suede and leather overlays underscored by pony hair trim. This women's-exclusive model is highlighted with leopard-print accents on the exterior and interior. A full-length Max Air unit cushions the foot with each stride.
