One of Nike’s most successful collaborative partners from the music industry is UK grime sensation, Skepta. The budding hip-hop dynamo is in rarified air as he has partnered with the Swoosh on three incredibly successful Air Max creations. Skepta’s third project on the Air Max 97 BW has popularized the hybrid silhouette, inspiring the in-line release you see here. Dressed primarily in metallic silver, it’s lone pop of color comes by way of a purple midfoot Swoosh that wraps around to the back of its heel where the words Air Max rest. Black and white provide the finishing touches, adorning elements the likes of its throat and midfoot. Official images of this Persian Violet Air Max BW are available below while they’re set to drop September 8th at Nike Sportswear retailers the likes of SNS.
