The Nike Air Max BW “Persian Violet” is a classic 90s retro offering transformed by Nike’s need to always build upon the past while tinkering with new technologies. This year alone we’ve seen a number of Persian Violet releases either update performance aspects of the Nike Air Classic BW or add a signature lifestyle twist with premium materials. Now the “Persian Violet” aesthetic returns on a brand new model, the Nike Air Max Zero.
The Air Max Zero is finally ramping up production on general releases. There’s always been the option to customize the early Tinker Hatfield gem via NIKEiD, but now Fall 2016 looks as promising a time for the silhouette as any. Once just an early design sketch in Tinker’s notepad, the Nike Air Max Zero burst onto the scene to help celebrate Nike’s Air Max Day a few years back. This “Persian Violet” look fits perfectly onto the fuse and mesh upper, as a black base sees white overlays display a nearly translucent aura. The Persian Violet shade shines thanks to the neoprene collar and matching Swoosh branding.
There’s no word yet on a stateside release date, but expect this Air Max Zero “Persian Violet” to arrive at overseas retailers on August 29th.
