Earlier this month, we showed you the newly-designed Nike Air Max Rise in a white/black-blue color scheme, and there was both positive and negative remarks. Although this shoe doesn’t receive a lot of attention like the Hyperize or the Hypermax, is it suitable for you?

Nike will unleash Brandon Roy’s Nike Air Max Rise PEs later this month. Obviously, both colorways coincide perfectly with the Portland Trail Blazers. The ‘Away’ version features a predominately black-colored base with red accents, while the ‘Home’ version owns a mainly white-colored upper. In addition, its makeup details include a phylon midsole, a Max unit and a carbon weave in the heel. Click here to view detailed photo.

In regards to Nike Basketball, the Hyperize and the Hypermax have been soaking up all of the attention dating back to this summer. However, since the season began, we have seen a couple of players wearing the Nike Air Max Rise.

This particular silhouette possesses a few characteristics from some of Nike’s previous sneakers. For example, the side panels is very similar to the Hyperize, while the midsole is very reminiscent to the Huarache 2K4. Recently, we spotted players such as Brandon Roy and OJ Mayo sporting the Nike Air Max Rise. What are your thoughts on this sneaker? Click here to view detailed photos.
