Ben Felderstein Virgil Abloh’s current sneaker industry dominance stems from his finely-crafted collection of Off-White Nike creations that feature a bevy of intricate and creative details that have become the envy of sneakerheads the world over. One of those beloved details is a quick hit of orange – in some occasions, a different color if it fits better with the shoe’s color scheme – on a square-shaped flap that comes sewn onto the sneaker’s upper in a delicate, yet impossible-not-to-notice manner. While the Air Max 97 you see below is in no way affiliated with Abloh or his pace-setting Off-White brand, a comparison can certainly be made due to the quick hit of Cone orange on its primarily white construction. Nearly serving as a tonal take on one of the most revered Air Max installments, Cone makes its way onto the offering’s multiple Nike checks that can be seen on both its tongue and its midfoot plate. No official release information for this trendy take on the Air Max 97 has been reported just yet, but you can expect its arrival on Nike.com soon.
