Nike has been going wild with leopard prints as of late — both of the standard and the alternately colored variety. Now, a new ladies-only Air Max 98 that features both red and blue leopard-printed accents has surfaced. The majority of the upper is covered by a blue base with black printed embellishments, while a leopard-printed hot red appears on the medial quarter’s overlay to provide an extra touch of alternate animal kingdom-style contrast. As the leopard print falls on the decidedly loud end of the spectrum, the rest of the shoe is kept relatively simple with a mix of black suede and leather — but small patches of black pony hair grace the toebox overlay/top eyelets. Red Swoosh branded hits and a thin strip of high-vis reflective material then complete the look. Check out a full gallery of official images below, and look for these new Nike shoes to drop March 1st on Nike.com, accompanied by similarly styled takes on the Air Max 95 and Air Max 1.
