The Nike Air Max design team has gotten more and more imaginative with its new models in recent years, drawing on design motifs from internal Nike sub brands as well as current fashion trends. Accompanying the Nike Air Max DN in the brand’s queue of new models is the Nike Air Max Flyknit Venture, which surfaced for the first time last November in black/brown coloring.
The Flyknit Venture is somewhat of an anomaly in that it’s difficult to pinpoint where it exactly belongs. It’s got hiking shoe elements with the bulky midsole that, at least from a visual perspective, deems it ready for hiking a la ACG. It’s also has a Flyknit exterior, which speaks to casual/lifestyle sensibility similar to the Air Max Scorpion.
This upcoming new model is revealed in platinum violet coloring, treated with a wavy silver stripe as a potential nod to the Air Max 97 design. Pull tabs on the padded tongue and heel add functionality while further hinting at an outdoor-intended use while brown and green roped lace wraps around the back of the shoe, although it doesn’t appear to serve a functional purpose. Underfoot, a wavy TPU mudguard extending the entire length of the shoe adds stability, while the oversized midsole opens up slightly allowing the air bubbles to shine through.
No release date has been set, but expect more information soon as Nike continues to ramp up for Air Max Day in March.
