Matt Varga What do Yeat and Hiroshi Fujiwara have in common? Well, we’re sure they can find some shared ground despite the generational gap, but the primary spot where they’ve been linked is on the Air Liquid Max. As Nike is wont to do, the sportswear giant pushed the envelope on their Visible Air family and looked to the rage rapper and streetwear icon to add some starry tonnage behind it.
Now, the silhouette is moving through the mainline with unassisted colorways. Just two have hit the newswire before this Nike Air Liquid Max “Black/Team Red” at hand; the Poison Dart Frog inspired “Volt” and a fully murdered-out follow-up. Keeping with that stealthy theme, this pair presents as a standard palette swap, leaning on the black and red combo that’s printed money for Beaverton for generations. Still, even within bounds that we could’ve sketched out, this choice allows the futuristic construction to shine all the more. The molded, lightweight Air units below help to push that next-gen feel, as do the woozy matrix of reinforcements in the upper.
The Nike Air Liquid Max “Team Red” was featured in the Nike Air Max Summer preview, so expect concrete release details in short order. Be ready for the standard $220 retail price upon arrival.
