Following the success of Skepta’s Air Max 97 collaboration in 2017, it’s been long-expected that a successor would trail in 2018. The first look at said shoe is revealed today, and it’s a sole-swapped take on both the Air Max BW and Air Max 97.

Colored in a simplistic white base with apparent mis-matching blue and red Swoosh branding, an Air Max Big Window upper is pressed against Air Max 97 midsole tooling. The honeycomb styled toe and paneling possibly odes to the Air Tuned Max, a shoe the UK Grime artist loves and used as inspiration on his first Nike collab.

Release details for the Skepta x Nike Air Max 97/BW are not yet available. Stay tuned for more.
