Ross Dwyer With Paris Fashion Week in full swing, Nike has used world’s amplified focus on men’s fashion to bring several interesting new collaborative designs to market. The latest pair to surface? A Zoom Haven melded with an Air Max 97 sole, premiered at this week’s CLOT — a long-time Nike collaboration with models like the Air Force 1 and Air Jordan 13 Low already under their belt — show. An underappreciated model from the Nike archives, the Haven originally released in 1999 as part of Nike’s Alpha Project, and was designed to provide a cocoon-like fit for intense cross training sessions. This new silhouette mixes details from the Haven’s ahead-of-its-time upper with the Air Max 97’s instantly recognizable midsole, and dresses it in both a sporty/white/blue and retro Volt color schemes. The zig-zagging midfoot cage provides striking detailing, and a classic gum outsole adds a pop of timeless flair to each pair. Get a first look at the new hybrid design above, and stay tuned for more release information as it’s available. Want to see more new PFW footwear in the meantime?
