The Nike Air Force Max originally debuted in 1993 and was the made famous from Michigan’s “Fab Five” squad. The classic Nike basketball sneaker undergoes a major makeover to give the shoe a brand new look. Designed for today’s rigorous, fast-paced game, 2018’s version of the Air Force Max boasts a more prominent Nike Air unit, a sloped down shape centered around a reinforced ankle collar for more support, and a shimmering plastic heel cup for stability. A midfoot strap meant to aid in its lockdown keeps it in line with the old model’s signature design ethos, while its colorfully, abstract upper continues to harken back to its retro-inspired origins.
No word on when this Air Force Max will release, but you can get a better look at the this new take of the model below.
