Jovani Hernandez As Nike Air Max technology continues to celebrate its 35th anniversary, the revolutionary application has led the way to one of the most jarring designs from the brand in recent memory: the Air Max Scorpion.
Little has been unveiled via official channels, but leaked and professional imagery of the shoe reveals the most experimental visible Airbag in history. Up-top, the sneaker indulges in a tried-and-proven Flyknit build, with the layout resembling that of the Air Jordan 11 Low IE. “Black” dominates the the upper, with profile swooshes and branding on the top of the tongue and spine deviating in grey and purplish hues, respectively. The sneaker’s highlight, however, is unquestionably the sole unit: arguably an evolution and combination of VaporMax and the Air Max 720 offerings, the Air Max Scorpion sees a semi-fragmented Air bubble work in-tandem with a molded plate for stability and responsiveness. A blue tint animates the exaggerated cushioning, creating a compelling color combination for the boldest of fashion enthusiasts.
Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, as you wait for an official Nike SNKRS release.
