Sneaker News Oregon and Nike’s Ducks Of A Feather program is ready for their next launch; with Air Max Month in the midst, they’ve turned their attention to a hybrid model of two icons that has its roots from decades prior.
This next release is a throwback to the sole-swap frenzy kickstarted by Sean Wotherspoon’s Air Max 97/1 of 2018; eventually, we saw cross-hybridization of a number of models like the Air Max 97 matched with the BW by Skepta, the Air Max 90 stitched to a 95 sole by Patta, and several other in-line takes that have since gone dormant.
This specific pairing of the Air Max 97 with the 95 bottoms calls back to the GS-exclusive release of the 97 model during its original run; instead of engineering the full-length Air into smaller sizing, Nike chose to attach the Air Max 95 sole instead. It did the same with the following Air Max 98.
For the upcoming Air Max Day festivities, Division St. has prepared three distinct styles under the “Nature Reimagined” concept. delivering a Lightning, Thunder, and Storm colorway. The collection will drop on a staggered schedule at unique locations across the globe.
