Another France-inspired Nike shoe has been added to its upcoming 2019 FIFA World Cup Collection inspired by the women’s alternate uniforms. This time around it’s the Nike Air Max 720. This 720 differentiates itself from its compatriots by opting for a look that’s almost entirely tonal and using the dark navy blue that’s present on all NDNU shoes much more sparingly. The outstanding feature on this sneaker is the polka dot print that can be seen on the Air Max sole unit as well as on the heel tab. Additional details include Metallic Red Bronze detailing on the tongue branding, blue Nike Swoosh branding above the midsoles, and the “Nos Differences Nous Unissent” text which translates to Our Differences Unite Us on the medial midsole.
Check out the official photos below, and look for this Air Max 720 to release on May 16th ahead of the World Cup kicking off on June 7th at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $180 USD.
